This intervention by Canoilas extends to a set of large-format works created between 2012 and 2023, from his participation in the XXX edition of the São Paulo Biennial to one of his most recent presentations within the scope of the FLAD Drawing Prize.

The architecture of Casa do Campo Pequeno is praised through the installation of paintings on fabric that unfold according to the harmonious relationship between work and space, creating a spiral upward movement. In this way, pre-existing chronological and thematic relationships are broken, transforming the reading of this exhibition into a new order, in relation to perspective – which the spiral movement allows, citing the composer Sun Ra and his desire for movement towards infinity.

The Etruscan character of these paintings is found in the drawn form and permanent adjustment through layers that oscillate between the wall and the floor. Starting from horizontality where the image is conceived using inking and the gestures of abstraction merge with dripping, the inversion of the canvas or the channeling of ink flows through folding, creating a mimetic relationship with nature. In this relationship of symbiosis and osmosis, between chemical and natural elements, acrylic-based colors and water succumb to the pressure of elements such as water, air and temperature.
