Vera Martins

“Violence Under Delicacy – Whippings” presents a selection of the work of artist Vera Martins, who had a solo exhibition held at the Oscar Niemeyer Museum from October 2020 to March 2021.

The works presented here are new, but the process developed is the same: unraveling the canvas, which is the support of the painting, turning the threads into whip-brushes and applying gestures allow for mediation between the three main elements of the art system, which are the artist, the viewer, and the artwork.

By bringing a bit of the Oscar Niemeyer Museum to other municipalities of the State through traveling exhibitions, the institution extends its reach. At the same time, it leaves an invitation for the greater integration of Paraná’s culture.
