"As obras têxteis de parede apresentadas na exposição são em sua maioria executadas em ponto tunisiano, uma forma híbrida entre o tricô e o crochê, e incluem uma variedade de tipos de lãs e linhas que se mesclam nas composições. Nesses trabalhos, Tonico explora uma extensa gama de variações tonais que se tornam visíveis apenas quando os diferentes tipos de linha são colocados lado a lado em imagens semi-abstratas que evocam paisagens noturnas. Além disso, as molduras dessas obras, feitas em madeira roxinho, se tornam parte integral da composição, adicionando mais uma camada de contraste e enquadramento. Reforçam, ainda, que o papel da madeira na prática de Tonico não é nunca de neutralidade." [extrato do press release da exposição Desconnhecido para o mundo, Galeria Luisa Strina 2022] --- The wall textiles presented in the exhibition are mostly executed in Tunisian stitch, a hybrid form between tricot and crochet, and include a variety of types of wool and threads in a single composition. In these works, Auad explores a vast array of tonal variations that are made visible only when the different kinds of thread are placed side to side in semi-abstract images that evoke nocturnal landscapes. Moreover, their purpleheart frames become an integral part of the composition, adding yet another layer of contrast and framing. They also serve to reinforce the idea that wood, in Auad’s practice, is never a neutral material. [press release extract from the exhibition Unknown to the world, Galeria Luisa Strina, 2022]
