Beginning in September 2026, as a continuation of SP-Arte Rotas, held in August, we present in the gallery's window display a selection from Vozes da Jurema, the solo exhibition by Rodrigo Bueno, of Ateliê Mata Adentro, presented at our booth at ARCA and curated by Denise Mattar.

Among Bueno's contemporary works, including terracotta sculptures, furniture, and sculptural tapestries, Coivara (2022), an oil painting on wood, stands out for establishing a dialogue with works on the same theme by the modern Bahian artist Genaro de Carvalho (1926-1971). Celebrating his centenary, Genaro's work remains on view at the gallery through November 2026 in the exhibition GENARO 100 ANOS - BORDANDO A BAHIA, also curated by Denise Mattar.

Through Coivara, Rodrigo evokes the poetic essence of his practice, centered on the transformation of matter and memory. Using reclaimed wood, he proposes new possibilities of existence, creating a dry landscape that emerges in vibrant color, expressing its own rebirth.

Genaro, in turn, developed his own poetic language around the theme of Coivara, inspired by the agricultural practice of slash-and-burn cultivation and in harmony with the Northeastern Brazilian landscape. His compositions bring together fruits and richly expressive graphic motifs, elements that underscore the singularity of his work.
