The American artist based in Detroit is mainly known for an ongoing series of sketchbooks and photos documenting his travels within the United States. The original painting of this edition takes part in a series based on images of things Pat Perry saw for sale online. As he explains, “Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace are websites meant to serve a strictly practical purpose, but they are also repositories for strangeness. This series of paintings, based on images appropriated from these websites, muses on how real life is refracted when strangers use their phone cameras and social media accounts to sell things to each other online.”

Emerging from Tiago Galo’s exploration of everyday gestures and contemporary experience, desNORTE reflects on moments of uncertainty and the search for direction. The title draws on the Portuguese word for disorientation, evoking a state in which familiar points of reference begin to dissolve.

Rendered through the artist’s characteristic visual economy, the composition centers on a solitary figure engaged in an act of navigation. Yet rather than offering certainty, the image suggests a condition of continual searching, where orientation becomes both a physical and emotional process. Balancing simplicity with subtle ambiguity, the work reflects on how individuals position themselves within an increasingly complex world, where the need for direction often coexists with the acceptance of not knowing exactly where to go.

Created from a large tile-inspired composition, Calçada da Estrela takes the form of a series of 49 unique works. Characteristic of Manuela Pimentel's practice, materials collected from the street enter into dialogue with the visual language of the Portuguese azulejo. Through processes of cutting, layering, and recomposition, traces of typography, colour, and material are transformed into singular compositions that establish unexpected connections between contemporary urban life and cultural heritage.
