To celebrate the co-representation of Manuel Messias's estate, Nonada, in partnership with Danielian Galeria, participated in Arco Lisboa 2024 in the "The Forms of the Ocean" sector curated by Igor Simões and Ana Paula Nascimento, establishing a dialogue between Messias and the powerful paintings of the young Bahian artist João do Nascimento.
Humberto Espíndola

Nonada's guiding principle is the importance of curation. The research of new artists focuses on peripheral issues that go beyond geographic definitions, understanding the term as central to contemporary issues such as sexuality, gender, race, and creed, as well as establishing dialogues with established artists and seeking out and rescuing fundamental artists from the Brazilian contemporary scene.
For its first participation in SP-Arte, Nonada presented a solo exhibition by the artist Humberto Espíndola, an indispensable artist from Mato Grosso do Sul in Brazilian art, with exhibitions of great importance such as the Venice and São Paulo Biennials in his curriculum. Despite being in production for years, his work had not been presented mainly in the Southeast, and also in an individual manner.
Leoa
09/13 to 09/17/2023
NONADA debuted at ArtRio 2023, participating in the SOLO program with the artist Leoa.
At booth S12, two series of paintings were presented: the first explores still lifes focused on everyday life in the periphery, and the second showcases landscape views based on photographs. Both series embody the poetic use of colors from Leoa's daily life. Leoa's work intuitively reflects expressionism, incorporating gesture and materiality to depict scenes from daily life in the western zone of Rio de Janeiro, avoiding figurative clichés."
