With two exhibitions at the Fundação Iberê in Porto Alegre, the painter Paulo Pasta (1959, Ariranha, SP, Brazil) was highlighted in an article by Naief Haddad published in the Folha de S. Paulo newspaper. Pasta is currently on display with the solo show Para que serve uma pintura  as well as curating Eclipses, featuring works by Iberê Camargo.

"In these works, the 65-year-old painter moves even further away from figurativism and doesn't feel comfortable being treated as an abstractionist either. He composes schemes such as Anunciação Amarela [Yellow Annunciation] (2015), in which, as he often says, 'you don't see a thing, but the rumor of something'" writes Haddad about Pasta. "The mystery of his works lies in this impossibility of distinguishing figure and abstraction and, above all, in the colors resulting from lengthy combinations of pigments."
