On October 25, Carlos Garaicoa opens Double Exposure, his first solo exhibition in São Paulo in six years, held simultaneously at Almeida & Dale and Galleria Continua.

The show, comprising works that move between painting, sculpture, and installation, addresses central themes in the artist’s practice: architecture, mathematics, geometry, and the social fabric of cities. Among them is a new group of works in which photographic images undergo interventions with oil paint and various materials to create scenes where organic forms erupt from the urban landscape. In the series π=3.1416, Garaicoa revisits, in a way, his origins as a painter, with pieces that hover between two and three dimensions while examining geometry and engaging with strands of Constructivism and Concretism. Another highlight, All Utopia Goes Through the Belly, is an installation conceived between 2008 and 2024 that touches on themes such as isolation and nourishment — both in their historical dimension in the formation of societies and in light of current conflicts that lead to scarcity and hunger.

Featuring new works and internationally acclaimed series, Double Exposure reflects an artistic practice that is both cohesive and in constant reinvention.
