Shadows and Signals
Parallel Season Frieze London 2025
Juca Maximo Solo Digital Show
Curation and artworks selection by Giulia Falcone (Art Expert and Curator)
Every emotion leaves an invisible trace — a signal the body translates into memory, gesture, movement. In the works of award-winning artist Juca Máximo, what we see is never just a figure: it is the form the soul takes when it tries to become matter.
In his solo exhibition Shadows and Signals, in dialogue with Art Frieze London, Máximo explores the inner structure of emotion — suspended between the intimate depth of absence and the vital energy of the invisible connections that unite us.
The psychic fibres of fragmented bodies, hiding their vulnerabilities behind masks, find space and completion in the emotional resonance of those who observe them.
In this dialogue, as silent as it is dense, the shadows of oblivion are crossed by ethereal currents. They carry with them vitality, lightness, and the Nietzschean acceptance of Amor Fati — to love one’s destiny as an act of total presence. Like beams of light, the lines that compose his figures transmit the vibrations of life.
Thus, silence becomes movement, and Máximo’s painting becomes an anatomy of the invisible — a space where the body resonates, and fragility turns into light.
