93 Gallery is pleased to present Entre Trópicos, an exhibition bringing together Brazilian artists Valentina Canseco and Shinji Nagabe, on the occasion of the Brazilian Season in France.
Entre Trópicos invites us to cross into new sensory territories, immersing us in a space where the body, sensuality, and materiality blend in a delicate dance. The works of Canseco and Nagabe create an intimate, powerful dialogue that resonates with the sounds and rhythms of Brazil, the warmth of its landscapes, and the intensity of its passions. The title Entre Trópicos evokes a place where boundaries disappear, allowing for an embodied experience of the body, the skin, and the light.
Shinji Nagabe, on the other hand, merges Japan and Brazil in a convergence of desires and representations. His autobiographical works are filled with sensuality, yet also rich with complexity. They explore the connections between the body and the imagery of desire, the tension between temptation and the fetishistic gaze placed on others.
