Figurativos, místicos e revolucionários – Obras da Coleção Treger Saint Silvestre

The exhibition Figurativos, místicos e revolucionários – Obras da Coleção Treger Saint Silvestre is an exhibition project by the collector and was based on the fusion of artworks between the ‘figurative revolutions’, fantastic art and voodoo art – universes that make up the art brut collection on loan at Núcleo de Arte da Oliva. The metamorphosis of images in this show appeals to a multiplicity of dimensions in which the viewers perception is perturbed by parallel worlds filled with imaginary creatures, the oneiric and magic as well as the ancestral and ritualistic practices of the voodoo religion and cult. The exhibition features artwork by artists from several countries.
