FONSECA MACEDO – ARTE CONTEMPORÂNEA

Isabel Madureira Andrade (Ponta Delgada, Azores, 1991) was part of the short list of the 6 finalist artists of the EDP New Artists Award, 2019, and was highlighted by the jury with the Honorable Mention.
Her work, in oil on canvas or paper, is part of a practice of ready-made object transposition through the technique of “frottage”, highlighting its geometric structure, organized as a repetitive pattern, creating a visual rhythm that, It often approaches a representation of the cosmos.
As Luísa Cardoso stated in “Cosmografias, a história e outras cores”, “This search for the structuring order of things and phenomena is a search for meaning and there is in this revelation… a kind of alchemy or transubstantiation that Isabel Madureira Andrade undertakes using everyday objects.”
