Pollyana Freire's latest sculptures are the result of a meticulous evolutionary process of her work's initial forms. The Brazilian artist living in Portugal – selected in 2015 for the EDP Foundation New Artists Award – playfully explored linear geometry, the intersection of small volumes and planes, which could be read both individually and as a whole. By favouring iron over balsa tree and wood, the floor pieces that the artist will show for the first time exalt all their poetic fragility through the unexpectedness of the forms and voids they display, the imagined and real lightness of their bodies, the elegant joy of their colours and the happy visual and physical journey they attract visitors to.
