Marina Rheingantz – Liquid Earth

The book Marina Rheingantz – Liquid Earth presents an overview of the production of this young artist from São Paulo. The book, the painter’s first monographic publication, features an essay by curator Rodrigo Moura and replicates about seventy images of the artist’s works. In her paintings, Rheingantz carries out a process of creation in which she repeatedly constructs and deconstructs her canvases with ink overlays that form large fields of color and, at the same time, bring out punctual elements. Desolate landscapes, roads, and internal environments only appear as vestiges of the reality, fragmented by the memory in a collage full of textures.

About the artist
Marina Rheingantz was born in Araraquara, in 1983. She lives and works in São Paulo. Having graduated in Fine Arts from FAAP, she discovered in traditional painting – oil painting on canvas – the strength of her works. Part of a new wave of young painters who recover expression through figures, landscapes, and abstractionism, she is considered one of the revelations of Brazilian contemporary painting. Her works are portraits of memories, travel experiences, and collected images, and often show desolate landscapes with a heavy trace of solitude, a feature that has come to be Marina’s own voice as a painter. She has held several solo exhibitions, among which are: Várzea, Bortolami Gallery, New York, USA (2018); Galope, Zeno X Gallery, Antwerp, Belgium (2017); Terra Líquida, Galeria Fortes Vilaça, São Paulo, Brasil (2016); Dot Line Line Dot, Nichido Contemporary Art, Tokyo, Japan (2016) and Independent Projects, Center 548 Gallery, New York, USA (2013).
