Untitled: Galeria Luisa Strina
Caetano de Almeida’s painting interweaves the sign, the body and its absence, slowness, the investment of desire, the accumulation of capital, working conditions, and waiting.

Galeria Luisa Strina presents Caetano de Almeida’s solo exhibition, from 5 April until 21 May 2016.
After four years without exhibiting his works in São Paulo, the artist brings one drawing and new paintings. The paintings, constructed from lines, continue the artist’s study into webs, patterns and history. His compositions are often optically loaded, chromatic and frequently characterized by patterns formed by circular cut-outs and holes. The geometric structure of the works points to the rich history of geometric art. However, it is Caetano’s intuitive use of color that adds a unique sensation of his own dynamism.
