Ah! Que les raisins sont capiteux 1965

This collage by Sa Nogueira is an enchanting dance of different papers, colors, and images. It is as if the artist has intuitively pieced together a dream. I wonder, what was Nogueira thinking when they arranged these fragments into a composition? Perhaps they were reminiscing about love, life, and connection? The silhouettes, the lovers, the grapes—they all feel like gestures towards intimacy. The layering of textures is so compelling; each piece of paper holds its own story, but they come together to create something entirely new. Look at how the rough edges contrast with the smoothness of the painted surfaces, offering an interplay of tactile sensations. Nogueira's artwork reminds me that we, as artists, are always in conversation with one another across time. Each piece contributes to an ongoing dialogue. And like any good conversation, it's filled with ambiguity, uncertainty, and endless possibilities for interpretation.
