With modern and contemporary Brazilian art as its main focus, Galatea works with and sells both well-known names on the national art scene and new talents in contemporary art, as well as promoting the revival of historic artists. Its wide temporal range reflects and articulates the conceptual pillars of the gallery’s program: to be a point of promotion and convergence between different cultures, temporalities, styles and genres, generating a rich friction between the old and the new, the canonical and the non-canonical, the erudite and the informal.
In addition to these proposed connections, the gallery is also committed to the relationship between artists, collectors, institutions and gallerists. On one side, great care is given to the research process, creative time is respected, and the professional development of artists is encouraged with curatorial support. On the other, is an open exchange and transparency in commercial relations. By strengthening ties, with a sensitive eye for what is important to each, Galatea enhances the relationships that are created around art, believing that in doing so, it is also enhancing art itself.
