auroras proudly presents “ No Obstacle”, a solo exhibition by artist Gilson Plano, occupying both the Project Room and the garden of the space.
In the Project Room, the work The Night proposes an experience of contemplation and enchantment through minimal elements: leather and light. Originally presented in 2023, the installation invites the perception of nuances that emerge in the dark and questions the boundaries between the visible and the invisible.
In the garden, a new sculpture titled The Arch (2025) suggests some kind of portal. Built in iron, the sculpture establishes a direct dialogue with the garden and the modernist architecture of auroras, and with a sculpture by Ivens Machado currently on view at the garden. The work extends the artist’s exploration of structures that both delimit and liberate, creating transitional zones between the physical and the symbolic.
As he constructs relations of force and balance, tensioning weight and form, Plano develops material connections as devices that generate symbolic, narrative, and historical meanings. Throughout his work, the artist investigates the imaginary surrounding form and thought in Brazil, also engaging in educational initiatives and the management of contemporary art programs.
