The INTREPIDA plus project coordinated by the Fundación Tres Culturas offers a month of October full of activities and initiatives.
From mid-October to 16 November there is the exhibition 'Feeling the Earth', by the Portuguese artist Graça Pereira Coutinho, whose work is made up of different means of expression, including painting, sculpture, photography and installation.
This Portuguese artist, who trained at the Escola Superior de Belas Artes in Lisbon and at St. Martins School of Art in London, is inspired by Eva Hesse and Agnes Martin in her conceptual art. Her works are mainly composed of fragile and ephemeral materials that she obtains directly from nature (such as wood, earth, sand, water, straw, etc.) and which she handles in an unconventional way, mixing them with others such as rope, fabric, plastic and glass. He is concerned with the relationship between art and life, and his work is divided into various themes dedicated to subjects such as nature, landscape, the traces of human presence in the past, etc.
This exhibition, entitled 'Feeling the Earth', is curated by the Portuguese artist Cristina Ataide. Both artists have collaborated on various projects, and are currently two of the most internationally renowned women artists in Portugal, where they usually live.
The exhibition runs until 15 November, from Monday to Thursday from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m., and on Fridays from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Closed on weekends and public holidays
