ARPA 2025

Casa Triângulo will present, at the 2025 edition of ArPa, a dialogue between the works of Argentine artist Max Gómez Canle and Brazilian artist Rafael Chavez.

 

Max Gómez Canle offers his uncommon, downward-facing gaze as he reflects on landscape and its representation in the series La Tregua del Agua. Through a series of paintings and notes, he examines puddles of water, blurring the distinction between man and nature in landscape paintings, where humans act as spectators and the landscape is mathematically organized through perspective.

 

Rafael Chavez’s works, in turn, transcend simple visual representation, exploring intersections between body, landscape, spirituality, and territory. Her practice celebrates the vitality of the northeastern Brazilian sertão (the arid backlands of northeastern Brazil) and the dynamics of sertanejo life and the caatinga, which deeply inform her artistic research process.
