Paulo Nimer Pjota's Assemblage of Discarded Materials at T293 Rome
Brazilian artist Paulo Nimer Pjota (born 1988 in São José do Rio Preto) presents a solo exhibition at Galleria T293 in Rome, featuring installations made primarily from discarded materials collected from landfills. Working on metal panels and used canvases, he paints isolated, floating elements that appear as randomly applied stickers. The imagery juxtaposes reproductions of sculpted heads, ancient ceramic shards, still lifes, Japanese cartoon characters, and tribal tattoos, with no temporal or narrative connection. Additional resin and terracotta objects placed on the floor complete the installations. In an era of image overload, the artist invites viewers to discern among the multiple elements and find their own interpretation.
