Vigília, the solo show by David Almeida at Millan was the topic of recent articles in Artforum and Folha de S. Paulo, the main newspaper in Brazil.

In the review for Artforum's Critics’ Picks section, Franz Thalmair describes that Almeida's ‘painterly rocailles and volutes frequently dissolve into abstraction and thus into a reflection of themselves, making the show a thoroughly contemporary experience. Almost a hundred years after the birth of [Oswald] de Andrade’s anthropophagic idea, Almeida’s paintings take the concept of “man-eating” one step further.’

Folha de S. Paulo, in turn, published an article by Danilo Thomaz today, November 5, emphasizing that 'the main characteristic [of the works on view] is to value the gesture of painting more than pictorial creation, without the compromise of creating something within the canons of painting, in an allusion to what was created by Master Ataíde.'
