Exhibition of three generations of artists of the same family: António Areal, Sofia Areal and Martim Brion

About

The interest in a joint exhibition by António Areal, Sofia Areal and Martim Brion (Areal) is based on the articulation of three generations of the same family linked to the plastic arts, with different markers in Portuguese art. António Areal appeared with a metaphysical surrealism at the end of the 1960s, followed by a brief informalist phase at the beginning of the following decade, to develop one of the most important neo-figurative projects of the 1960s-70s with a neo-dada content; Sofia Areal entered the late 1980s, in international agreement with the time of bad painting or transvanguardia, which was signalled by a return to the paradigm of painting and has been producing some of the most relevant and original work on the Portuguese art scene. With a more recent and emerging production, Martim Brion has already emerged in this century, in times of installation and post-conceptual interventions, observable in his plurality of materials and supports, working between photography (momentary sketches) and sculpture (thoughts in a physical state). Acting in different times, these projects couldn't be the same, as they aren't; but they are linked by proximities that make it possible to establish links of relationship and continuity, a familiarity in difference.
