Vanessa da Silva : Muamba Grove

Galeria Duarte Sequeira is pleased to announce the launch of the Sculpture Park programme with invited artist-in-residence Vanessa da Silva.

Taking into consideration the intersection between the human body, nature and transmutation, Vanessa da Silva produces a new body of work for the sculpture park, further developing her Muamba Grove series. Within these works, the artist explores the relationship between object and body, body and nature, which in turn unfolds an extended narrative between object and viewer. Colour and scale play a significant part within the works. Through the exchange that occurs between the sculptures and human bodies, da Silva continues her ongoing investigation on themes of movement of cultures, transformation and ‘becoming other’.
