Rodrigo Petrella is a Brazilian photographer. After several years in New York he returned to Brazil in 2001. Since then he has focused on two main subjects: a personal project exploring the symbols and images of our unconscious, and a photographic record of the daily life of indigenous communities in the Amazon. The pictures in this exhibition are the result of his many trips to the hidden tribes of Amazon. Viewing his Amazonian images, it is clear that Petrella developed a thorough understanding and respect both of the lives of the people he photographed and the communities that sustained their lives. It is clear that he earned the respect of the indigenous communities themselves, allowing him to be initiated into their communities to hear their histories and tell them to us through photographic images.

Photography
British photographer Cig Harvey, 1973, lives in Boston and on the coast of Maine. She uses photography as a means to tell stories. Often her work is a reflection of her own life and the things she has experienced. This is why she often uses herself as the subject in her images. She is also fascinated by vintage dresses which often end up being used in her photographs. Cig has exhibited extensively throughout the USA and several European cities. |

Gregory Crewdson's photographs usually take place in small town America, but are dramatic and cinematic. They feature often disturbing, surreal events. The photographs in the series 'Beneath the Roses' are shot using a large crew, and are elaborately staged and lighted.

|
The exhibition does not set out to categorically defend the genre of painting, but to present a highly selective group of international artists whose approach, style or subject matter is as contemporary as almost any photography, video or large-scale installation piece. The exhibition features work that ultimately questions the means and media of painting, asking the viewer to consider which factors contribute to making a painting fresh and contemporary today.
