With great enthusiasm, we announce Janaina Torres Galeria’s second participation in ZⓈONAMACO, one of the largest art fairs in Latin America, which will take place from February 5 to 9 in the vibrant Mexico City.
In this edition, the gallery will be present in the Sur Sector, at the invitation of curator Manuela Moscoso, at stand ZMS13. The space will feature a project curated by Heloísa Amaral Peixoto, entitled This is the place – The state of permanent invention, presenting works by artists Jeane Terra, Liene Bosquê and Osvaldo Carvalho, represented by the gallery.
For Heloísa Amaral Peixoto, the works on display explore natural landscapes, urban approaches and traces of cultural elements, creating records that move between transcendent realism and fictionalization.
“The works by Jeane Terra, Liene Bosquê and Osvaldo Carvalho embody the relationship between criticism and art production, a determining aspect and, practically, a constitutive condition in the environment of contemporary Brazilian thought.
“Although the works discuss varying socio-geographical contexts, proposing reflections of different nuances, the artists also broaden the possibilities of the symbolic fields in their practices and converge in a state of permanent invention, in the certainty that this will always be a place where one needs to be, from where their actions can project beyond the limits of the object”, says the curator.

Jeane Terra investigates the subjectivities of memory, the nuances of the transience of the city and the wreckage of time, such as erasure and urban sprawl. In recent works, she investigates the effects of human action on landscape, climate and life on earth. The artist’s work develops in the media of painting, sculpture, photography and video art, often self-referential, where reminiscences emerge that travel between the registers of the past and the urgency of the contemporary.
The artist is part of important Brazilian collections such as the Instituto Inhotim, the Museu de Arte do Rio – MAR, the Centro Cultural dos Correios Rio de Janeiro.
Liene Bosquê holds a Master’s degree in Visual Arts from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, a Bachelor’s degree in Visual Arts from UNESP and a Bachelor’s degree in Architecture and Urbanism from Mackenzie Presbyterian University. In her multidisciplinary practice, she proposes explorations and sensorial experiences through relationships between subject and space, activating perceptions of memory and history. Her research is developed in diverse languages such as sculpture, installation, site-responsive and performance, investigating the transience of spaces and the transformation of rigid and static architectural elements into fragile surfaces.
She has won important awards and residencies throughout her career, in addition to exhibiting her work in important institutions such as MoMA PS1, Museum of Contemporary Photography – Chicago; Frost Art Museum – Miami; Carpe Diem in Lisbon – Portugal.
In a production that has been going for more than two decades, with an activity mainly dedicated to painting, Osvaldo Carvalho mixes into his repertoire references from the imagery of mass culture, cinema, comics, advertising, news and also art history. In these compositions, in which he favors the use of acrylic paint and varnishes, achieving plastic and saturated colors, he combines idea and image with questions about power structures, human actions on the environment and race and class violence – denunciations pointed at the most diverse social contradictions.
He has participated in exhibitions at important institutions such as MASP, Casa França-Brasil, MAC-Niterói, Paço Imperial- RJ, and has won awards such as the acquisition award at the 47th MARP and finalist of the 7th Marcantonio Vilaça Award, among others. His works are in collections such as MARP, MUHCAB, SESC, MAC-Jataí, Margs and Casa das Onze Janelas.
