Thix's Pink, Sleepless Room at Casa Triângulo
Brazilian visual artist Thix (born 1982 in Porto Alegre) presents her first solo exhibition at Casa Triângulo in São Paulo, titled "Quarto de não dormir, sala de não estar" (Room of not sleeping, living room of not staying). The show transforms the gallery into a dreamlike space exploring childhood desires and dark fears. Central to the installation is a pink dress symbolizing a young life trapped in a foreign body. Wooden furniture contrasts with poetic pink touches, suggesting bodily transformation and a return to an authentic self. The exhibition critiques mental rigidity and painful rites of passage. Thix incorporates fragments of paintings that collect emotions and memories, paying homage to Artemisia Gentileschi's Baroque chiaroscuro. The space includes a bedless bedframe and a nightstand shaped like a pony, with fake nails dreaming of becoming DNA. The show remains open for one more week.
