Summary:

Published on the occasion of the exhibition held from December 16 to March 13, 2022 at the Museu de Arte Moderna of São Paulo, Brazil. Collective exhibition on the woven forms of artists Jacques Douchez (Macôn, France, 1921 - São Paulo, 2012) and Norberto Nicola (São Paulo, 1931 - São Paulo, 2007), in addition to giving visibility to such important artists who succeeded the first modernist artists, values theoir art of tapestry, until recently seen as minor in relation to painting and sculpture. Jacques Douchez and Norberto Nicola integrated in the 1950's the Atelier-Abstração, of Samson Flexor (1907 - 1971). The Romanian artist even influenced the works of the two, with their aesthetic and avant-garde ideals. In 1959, they created together the Atelier Douchez-Nicola that maintained the individuality and creative freedom of each one. Nicola performed lyric-dream and jungle related works, and Douchez produced austere and asethical works. In 1978 the atelier's activities ceased, without them doing an exhibition together after. Curatorship is by Assumes Vivid Astro Focus (AvaF), a collective of artists founded in 2001. AvaF can take on different formations depending on the different projects in which they are involved. AvaF works on a wide range of media, including installations, painting, tapestry, neon, wallpaper, music, etc. The collective often confronts entrenched cultural codes, gender and political issues through an overabundance of colors and shapes. The pseudonym is a fundamental part of their process of working "collectively". AvaF uses color as a universal language with the intention of ensuring the participation and delivery of the spectator. The public is always centerpiece in all their projects.
