Ever since the beginning of his career, Marco Paulo Rolla’s main concern has been the search of a perception of the present time and to incorporate in his pieces the circumstances that surround his daily life in order to establish a direct dialogue with the viewer. The human being’s moods and actions, that become clichés when repeated, become matter and instrument of Rolla’s study. He sees these clichés as mannerisms created by society that standardize relations among individuals, and force subjectivity into a certain level.
In this solo show, that will occupy halls 1 and 2 of Vermelho, the artist will present a series of works depicting common routines of daily life that question the possibility of finding a balance between the real world and subjectivity, and also reveal the contradiction between the desire for comfort and peace and today’s banality of violence. Six paintings of Objetos de Acúmulo [Accumulation Objects] series will be part of this solo show, as well as three others of Dysiquilibrio series. Rolla will also present drawings – Dissoluções em Manchas Acidentais [Dissolvings in Accidental Stains[ and Preciosidades [Precious] series, videos – Fio Condutor [Conductive Wire], Eu Desejo [I Desire] e Depois da Conquista [After Conquest], a sound installation Enganos [Mistakes] and a sculpture series.
