Flowers – Tiago Tebet, Donde florece lo salvaje – Antonio Kuschnir, ART PALMA BRUNCH
22 March - 30 May
Room 1 | Tiago Tebet: 8 Billion Flowers
Curated by Esmeralda Gómez Galera
In Eight Billion Flowers, his first solo exhibition in Mallorca, Tiago Tebet (São Paulo, 1982) explores fragility and permanence through the floral motif. Inspired by flowers’ ability to evoke the passage of time, death, and spirituality, the Berlin-based Brazilian artist presents a group of works that combine painting and textiles, transforming the transience of nature into something enduring.
In his textile pieces, Tebet deploys an expanded painting in which the canvas is torn, reconstructed, and reconfigured, creating vibrant, material abstract forms that evoke constantly changing flowers. The title of the exhibition refers to the idea of an event: both a flower blooming and a person living are unique and unrepeatable moments. This parallel also refers to the world’s population, with its eight billion “events.”

Room 2 | Antonio Kuschnir: Where Does the Wild Bloom?
Curated by Ana Júlia Vilela
The work of Antonio Kuschnir (Rio de Janeiro, 2001) is characterized by an intense exploration of narrative in painting, where he combines characters, objects, and landscapes from different eras in nonlinear compositions. His work engages with great masters such as Picasso, Matisse, and Cézanne, but with a contemporary perspective that incorporates metalanguage and references to his own artistic output.
With a largely subdued palette, contrasting with vibrant accents, Kuschnir constructs dreamlike and evocative atmospheres. His interest in theater is reflected in the scenography of his paintings, where elements such as curtains and fragmented compositions suggest a mise-en-scène within the painting. Furthermore, his titles offer interpretive clues without closing the meaning of the work, leaving room for the viewer’s imagination.
