REMNANTS
Started in 2020 and completed the following year, “Resquícios” was produced in Araçatuba during the pandemic scenario.
Returning to her hometown, Ilka Lemos brings excess, piling up branches, shadows and stairs that no longer lead anywhere. A portrait of a troubled period full of uncertainties, the series recalls visions and intimate and fragmented objects, in an attempt to cap off memories.
Painted while the artist was in social isolation, the paintings carry the sum of recognizable elements, but always displaced, losing themselves from previous contexts and direct meanings.
