Mariana Rocha's 'Deep Space' Explores Water and Cosmos at A Gentil Carioca
The solo exhibition 'Espaço Profundo' (Deep Space) by Brazilian artist Mariana Rocha is currently being showcased at A Gentil Carioca in São Paulo. This collection presents a fresh series of paintings that delve deeper into her study of water bodies, intertwining physical and cosmic elements. Rocha’s artwork investigates the interplay between the inner self and the outer world, as well as matter and the cosmos, through themes of movement, tides, and unseen forces. The exhibition emphasizes painting as a transformative medium, balancing gesture, color, and line between instinct and control. André Pitol, adjunct curator of the 36th São Paulo Biennial, authored the accompanying text, highlighting Rocha's exploration of the body as a dynamic space.
