Emmanuel Nassar returns to exhibit in Belém after ten years with a debut show at CCBA

Emmanuel Nassar, a Pará artist, is set to exhibit his works in Belém after a decade-long hiatus, showcasing pieces from different periods of his career at the Centro Cultural Bienal das Amazônias.

The upcoming exhibition titled 'Meu Tema Sou Eu' will be held at the Centro Cultural Bienal das Amazônias (CCBA) in Belém, starting March 13. This marks a significant return for Emmanuel Nassar, a local artist who has not exhibited in the city for approximately ten years. The show is curated by Vânia Leal and is a collection of artworks spanning different decades, including works from the 1980s and 1990s as well as more recent installations. It aims to reconnect Nassar with the local audience and present a comprehensive view of his artistic journey.

Nassar's exhibition will include notable pieces like the series '18 Chapas', inspired flag works from 'Brasil em Chamas' (1998), alongside contemporary installations like the 'Pirâmide de Tambores', the 'Carrinho Amarelo', and 'Lataria Espacial' from 2022. These works reflect Nassar's evolution as an artist and are a testament to his enduring relevance in the Brazilian art scene. The exhibition not only showcases the trajectory of Nassar's career but also highlights his deep-rooted connection to the cultural landscape of Belém.

For Emmanuel Nassar, now over 70, each exhibition serves as a retrospective of his artistic life, making this showing at CCBA particularly meaningful. He sees it as a chance to engage with local audiences once again and reflect on the impact of his works. This exhibition is anticipated to resonate with both long-time followers of Nassar's art and new viewers, effectively bridging the gap between past and present within the context of Brazilian contemporary art.
