The CATARINA exhibition features Miguel Rodrigues’ ‘Hyperbaroque’ sculptures in Dubai

The sculptor MIGUEL RODRIGUES exhibits CATARINA, an exhibition of new sculptures, inspired by the stucco works of the 18th century Italian artist João Grossi. With these new sculptures, Miguel honours his passion for Baroque, cultivated from a young age in his birthplace Coimbra, Portugal. The centuries of white stucco and the beauty of gilded carvings inspires Miguel Rodrigues to create his own “Hyperbaroque” universe creating a modern intake that can be seen in the sculptures of the Catarina exhibition at the AWC Gallery, located in Gate Avenue DIFC, it will be open to the public until the end of January 2024, curated by Anne-Floor Bouma Çeliktopuz.

This exhibition comes to Dubai after earlier this year, Miguel Rodrigues installed a monumental 12-meter sculpture at the invitation of the same gallery in the DIFC Sculpture Park in 2023. This work is now part of the permanent collection of DIFC Dubai, providing visitors with a unique and lasting artistic experience.
