Fernanda Gomes

This is a two-gallery exhibition with Galerie Peter Freeman, Inc.

Galerie Peter Kilchmann is pleased to present an exhibition by Brazilian artist Fernanda Gomes. Born in Rio de Janeiro in 1960, Gomes is known for her contemporary installations that combine painting and sculpture. She works with materials such as wood, cardboard, and plaster, which are processed on site.

Influenced by Brazilian Constructivism and Neo Concretismo, her works create poetic connections through subtle spatial changes and invite mental reflection. This is her first personal project in Paris in over a decade and her second solo exhibition with the gallery. The exhibition is being held in collaboration with Peter Freeman, Inc. and will be presented across two venues: Galerie Peter Kilchmann and Peter Freeman, Inc.

An exhibition can be many things. It can be more than a collection of artworks. I like to make an exhibition as a game of relations, a flexible ensemble of autonomous elements. It is a physical result of a mental state, something that can’t be repeated, or controlled. It is an imagined situation over an unpredictable reality, and also its opposite, the unpredictability of everything taking charge of the imagination.
