João Ruas, a painter based in São Paulo, Brazil, crafts ghostly, surreal scenes that blend mythology, warfare, and nature. Even his most peaceful works carry a mystery and sense of recent danger. In a new show at Jonathan Levine Gallery, titled "Geist," the artist evolves these themes and process. The show kicks off May 13 and runs through June 10.

Contam os índios que, há muito tempo, numa tribo do sul do Brasil, um jovem se apaixonou por uma moça de grande beleza. Melhor dizendo: apaixonaram-se. Jaebé, o moço, foi pedi-la em casamento. O pai dela perguntou: - Que provas podes dar de sua força para pretender a mão da moça mais formosa da tribo? - As provas do meu amor! - respondeu o jovem. O velho gostou da resposta mas achou o jovem atrevido. Então disse: - O último pretendente de minha fila falou que ficaria cinco dias em jejum e morreu no quarto dia. - Eu digo que ficarei nove dias em jejum e não morrerei. Toda a tribo se espantou com a coragem do jovem apaixonado. O velho ordenou que se desse início à prova. Enrolaram o rapaz num pesado couro de anta e ficaram dia e noite vigiando para que ele não saísse nem fosse alimentado. A jovem apaixonada chorou e implorou à deusa Lua que o mantivesse vivo para seu amor. O tempo foi passando. Certa manhã, a filha pediu ao pai: - Já se passaram cinco dias. Não o deixe morrer. O velho respondeu: - Ele é arrogante. Falou nas forças do amor. Vamos ver o que acontece. E esperou até até a última hora do novo dia. Então ordenou: - Vamos ver o que resta do arrogante Jaebé. Quando abriram o couro da anta, Jaebé saltou ligeiro. Seu olhos brilharam, seu sorriso tinha uma luz mágica. Sua pele estava limpa e cheirava a perfume de amêndoa. Todos se espantaram. E ficaram mais espantados ainda quando o jovem, ao ver sua amada, se pôs a cantar como um pássaro enquanto seu corpo, aos poucos, se transformava num corpo de pássaro! E exatamente naquele momento, os raios do luar tocaram a jovem apaixonada, que também se viu transformada em um pássaro. E, então, ela saiu voando atrás de Jaebé, que a chamava para a floresta onde desapareceu para sempre Contam os índios que foi assim que nasceu o pássaro joão-de-barro. A prova do grande amor que uniu esses dois jovens está no cuidado com que constroem sua casa e protegem os filhotes. E os homens amam o joão-de-barro porque lembram da força de Jaebé, uma força que vinha do amor e foi maior que a morte. \tags: tradição, lenda, gaucha, farroupilha, joão de barro

“Em 1979, durante um evento público, uma menina se recusou a apertar a mão do presidente militar, João Figueiredo. A foto circulou internacionalmente e se tornou símbolo de resistência no final da ditadura. A menina, Rachel Clemens, que tinha 5 anos na época, faleceu em 2015.”

Portugal is a vast country made up of diverse landscapes. Its scenery is one of the many reasons we fell in love so quickly and why we've already been back twice since our initial visit. Due to its location on the Iberian Peninsula, Portugal has a seemingly endless coastline. This coastal country also boasts several island chains that are definitely worth a visit, including the Berlengas Islands, and the Azores , which we visited on a return trip! Just a short 20-minute drive from where we were staying in Obidos is the town of Peniche, and just a 7-mile boat

Finding his muse in ancient allegories, João Ruas' latest illustrations depict mythological characters in contemporary settings. Think a phantasmagoric Zeus set against the backdrop of a solar windmill farm and you have an idea of what to expect. It's these deeply compelling and unique images that have seduced his audience and made us fall in love with not only the artwork, but the equally compelling and unique João Ruas himself. With his current exhibition entitled "Yore" on display recently at Thinkspace (see our opening night coverage here), Hi-Fructose talks to the artist about the inspiration behind the show, his enchantment with mythology and the artists who invigorate him. - Stephanie Chefas
I took to the Calouste Gulbenkian Museum over the weeked so as to have access to the Wentworth-Fitzwilliam Art collection known as one of the most prestigious private collections in Britain now being exhibitted in Lisbon.

Virgin and child with two angels by Hans Memling (1433-1494) - 1485-90 - oil on paper (left) Virgin in adoration by Quentin Massys (1466-1530) - 1491-1505 - oil on paper. Adoration of the Magi by Master of the Holy Blood (active up to c.1530) - 1530 - oil on paper. Virgin and child by Master of the female - Half-Lengths (active up to the first half of the 16th century) - 1520-50 - oil on paper. Portrait of William Wentworth by Sir Thomas Lawrence (1769-1830) - 1827 - oil on canvas (left). Portrait of the children of the Earl of Strafford by Sir Anton Van Dyck (1599 -1641) - 1639-40 - oil on canvas (right). Double portrait of the Prince and Princess Palatine by Gerrit van Honthorst (1590-1656) - 1632 - oil on canvas. Cappriccio of a coastal scene with the anchored Dutch Men-o'-War by Jan Abrahamsz.Beerstraten (1622-1666) - mid 17th century - oil on canvas Portrait of the 1st Duke of St. Albans by Simon Verelst (1644-1721) - 1676-80 - oil on canvas.
