    Em 2023, a Luciana Brito Galeria realizou a exposição "Ajuntamentos", onde o artista apresentou um conjunto de trabalhos inéditos, entre eles a série "Reforma". As obras dessa série foram produzidas a partir do pó de madeira, resultado do lixamento das esculturas que também fizeram parte da mostra. As diversas cores presentes nessa série, provenientes das diferentes nuances das madeiras, formam estruturas geométricas que seguem a mesma poética presente nas esculturas, a partir de um processo experimental realizado pelo artista pela primeira vez. Como continuidade do projeto "Ajuntamentos", Afonso Tostes apresentou também uma exposição na Fundação Iberê Camargo, em Porto Alegre, em 2023.

    Conceitos relacionados à matéria e à tridimensionalidade norteiam a pesquisa de Afonso Tostes. A madeira representa um elemento importante na sua pesquisa, tanto pela sua representatividade, quanto pelas suas características formais. Conhecido por suas grandes instalações, Afonso Tostes resgata as histórias preliminares dos materiais, as expõe e transforma suas narrativas e contextos.

    Afonso Tostes’s artistic research is guided by concepts related to matter and three-dimensionality. Wood plays a significant role in his work, both for its symbolic meaning and its formal characteristics. Known for his large-scale installations, Afonso Tostes recovers the underlying histories of materials, exposes them, and transforms their narratives and contexts.

     

    In 2023, Luciana Brito Galeria hosted the exhibition Ajuntamentos, where the artist presented a group of new works, including the Reforma series. The works in this series were produced from sawdust collected while sanding the wooden sculptures that were also part of the exhibition. The various colors in this series, derived from various kinds of woods of different shades, form geometric structures that follow the same poetic approach found in the sculptures. This was the first time the artist had used this procedure. As a continuation of the Ajuntamentos project, Afonso Tostes also held an exhibition at Fundação Iberê Camargo, in Porto Alegre in 2023.
