In Room Full of Mirrors, Rodrigo Andrade presents a set of new works that move between the organization of space and the chaos of matter. Elements that have appeared throughout his practice—such as caves, “ornamental creatures,” and large masses of color—come together in interior scenes, mostly oppressive, now featuring the image of mirrors, which are sometimes created through illusions of reflection and at other times through the outlining of decorative forms.

Curated by Germano Dushá, the exhibition, is marked by the artist’s reflection on his own work. However, the somber, retrospective quality of the paintings coexists with a strong sense of radicalism and experimentation, in which Andrade sustains and embraces the multiple layers that make up his work, without hierarchizing them and while establishing new combinations.

As is characteristic of the artist’s production, his paintings simultaneously evoke tradition and insist on challenging it. Perspective, spatial construction, the sensuality of the surface, color, illusionism, and the notion of decoration are among the aspects explored by the artist in the exhibition. Rather than offering a synthesis, however, Room Full of Mirrors maintains painting as a field of multiplicity, where reflection and matter remain in a state of instability.
