Dancer Rute Ventura Exhibition: April 10 to May 7, 2009
Performance on the reception evening: fri./April 10/ 5 pm – 7 pm
In this show we can see Ballet Dancer, a group of fourteen oil paints (24”x18”) from 2008.
In this paintings, Rute Ventura was engaged with a specific theme – the childish female.
She portrays, with oil on canvas, a ballet dancer girl through a particular perspective in witch we can see reflected feminine grace. Using white, black, red, purple and pink through a bold style, she shows the beauty of infantile feminine innocence. Mixed with a sort of obscurity, that the artist relates with the fears of growing up.

The documentary is about the Indian style martial arts ‘Kalaripayat’, which is said to be the source of all Eastern martial arts.
It was shot in Kerala, South India in the beginning of 2007 and features the different aspects of the art, such as the connection with Ayurveda and massage therapy, the four levels of the style, the weaponry, but it also touches upon subjects such as the place of women within Kalaripayat, the aspect of religion and the question of wether or not keeping the art form pure.
