Chordata
Culturgest, Lisbon
Francisca Carvalho (Coimbra, 1981) has developed an obsessive and highly organic drawing practice. She often draws without any premeditation, extremely quickly, with her hand moving freely and rapidly over the paper, almost blindly; in other words, the contingency of the process and unconscious associations often take the lead in her drawing practice. The Chordata exhibition is mainly made up of drawings made between 2010 and 2013, most of them unpublished. It also includes an extensive series of collages made during the first month of her stay in Baltimore, where she moved in September 2014 to pursue a master's degree in multidisciplinary art at the Maryland Institute College of Art.
