Uma Retrospectiva.jpg

The idea for this exhibition was initially presented by the Lagos Cultural Centre as “the” Zé Ventura retrospective. But in an artistic career spanning over four decades, it is only really possible to think of “a” retrospective, among the wide range of equally valid proposals for showcasing her career, so great is the number of works of art in which the artist has used so many different techniques and media.

Movimientos na Cidade.jpg

Zé Ventura presents for us, in her works, the following concepts in a figurative form: Time as a moment, with great energy, continuously renewed; Place as a stillness, whilst filling the eye; Structure as form, created by the need of the moment; Light and Colour as a reflection of the place, of the material and the eye itself;
Image as part of the "I" that is part of, and reflects upon itself.

Cores Tecidas.jpg

What Zé Ventura does in the cultural field, is a recycling, not of fragments of textile, but of the soul and the techniques of the old fabrics, bringing together tradition and modernity, and changing, with her own elaboration of mind, and with the help of those magical tools of her body, her hands, the old into the new.
