Contour, 2015-2016
Contour is a series of oil paintings on canvas, constituted of the artist’s attempts to give her old paintings contours, paintings that were made of overlapping stains.
This series is part of Galvão’s research into the interaction and relation between outside nature – the influence of the landscape – with her own nature.
In this way, Contour is constituted of dialogues between the landscape paintings genre and human sexual organs. The series’ objective is to create atmospheres of environments from the exploration of contrasting colors and from the erotic gaze on the human body.
