    A madeira ocupa um lugar central na pesquisa de Afonso Tostes, tanto por sua carga simbólica quanto por suas qualidades formais, articulando questões ligadas à sustentabilidade e ao meio ambiente. A escultura em metal da série Sem título (2026) estabelece um contraponto às suas conhecidas peças em madeira, nas quais o artista se apropria de troncos e fragmentos encontrados para criar composições que sugerem instabilidade, em alusão ao desequilíbrio das florestas. A galeria apresenta ainda Árvore pequena (2023), construída com papel de livros descartados, e um conjunto de pinturas Sem título (2025), nas quais Afonso Tostes emprega pó e resíduos de madeira provenientes de sua própria produção para ativar uma poética de reconstrução do que se perdeu, neste caso, as próprias árvores.
     
     

    Wood is central to Afonso Tostes’s practice, both for its symbolic weight and its formal qualities, mobilizing questions concerning sustainability and the environment. In the metal sculpture shown here, from an untitled series begun in 2026, Tostes sets up a counterpoint to his better-known pieces in wood, where he uses found tree trunks and fragments to build compositions marked by instability – an allusion to the imbalance of forests. The gallery is also presenting "Árvore pequena" (2023), made from paper obtained from discarded books, alongside a group of untitled paintings from 2025. In these works, Tostes uses dust and wood residue from his own production to activate a poetics of reconstructing what has been lost – here, the trees themselves.
