The collective exhibition of painting One Stop Away, on display at Galeria Municipal TREM, in Faro, was extended until October 2nd.
«As Galeria TREM owes its name to the proximity of the railway line via the name of the street where it is located, choose One Stop Away for the title of this painting collective was an obvious decision», explains the organization.
The exhibition is organized by Artadentro in collaboration with the Municipal Museum of Faro, bringing together works by artists from Faro and members of the Olhão Painters group.
One Stop Away, with paintings by Ana André, Jeffrey Gaylord Carter, Jill Stott, Meinke Flessemane Vasco Vidigal, «displays works that approach the landscape from different perspectives: from the painting of outdoors, in an update of the pre-impressionist tradition; the landscape as a theme/pretext for expressive exploration; the landscape as the dwelling place; the landscape as a matter of pictorial exploration; or the landscape altered by technology'.
'Whatever perspective is taken, it seems to be safe to say - at least in One Stop Away— which the landscape genre, although not absolutely, continues to provide the artist at one time: a vast field of artistic expression and a rare space for reflection and freedom», adds the organization.
