Antonio Gerbase was born in 1951 in Porto Alegre. Reserved, unpretentious, but in full artistic effervescence, Antonio Gerbase divides his days between Porto Alegre and Geneva, in addition to traveling to several continents for his activity as a consultant in International Public Health.
This exhibition includes engravings and photographs taken over the last five years.
There are colours that were added “a posteriori”, not very common in prints until some time ago. There is a certain intellectual fear of colour. The same as when serious film was black and white.
He was born on the plain, but in order not to detract from the hills of Porto Alegre or the naps of the Pampa gaucho, let’s admit that he had already felt in his feet and calves the effort made to overcome a steep climb, before living in Switzerland.
“Relevos Oníricos” gives the title to the exhibition that the plastic artist Antônio Gerbase opens on November 6th, at the Paulo Capelari Art Gallery, in Porto Alegre. The individual brings together 21 pieces in the monotype technique and four woodcuts, in a total of 25 works of medium and large formats, whose predominant theme is the mountains.
My father was a doctor, my mother a housewife. They had two daughters, both doctors, and four sons: two engineers, a doctor, and myself, the closest thing to an artist to come out of this respectable offspring. What happened with me? Any unexpected mutations in my DNA?
The proposed exhibition is the result of an artistic process that began about 10 years ago and has intensified in the last five years.
Antonio Gerbase worked for many years as a doctor at the World Health Organization (WHO) in the field of AIDS, living in Geneva since 1994, having developed a close connection with the mountains, so present in Switzerland.
