Fortes D’Aloia & Gabriel is proud to present Sedimentar, an exhibition of new works by Marina Rheingantz at Galpão, in São Paulo. The show is a landmark in the artist’s trajectory, a decisive dive into abstraction – from large-format paintings, sometimes of a monumental scale, to small and medium-format watercolours, embroideries, and tapestries. There is a new visceral use of impasto blotches, in discontinuous, brittle masses, like wounds on the pictorial surface.
Rheingantz’s tapestries and embroideries are translations of her canvasses onto another support, decomposing the ample gestures of the paintings into weaving’s rhythmic and iterative techniques. Embroidery stitches reappear in the paintings in short brushstrokes, while other elements remit to wefts and brocades. The schematic partition between disciplines and practices gives way to a hybrid pictorial procedure. These works fill in the paths between the larger-scale pieces like anchor points in the turbulent spatiality of the exhibition.

Landscape has been as an ongoing theme in the paintings of Marina Rheingantz. She builds on scenes from her travels and childhood memories -especially the vast fields of Araraquara where she was born to recreate semi-abstract topographies, packed with ambiguous forms and details that are deeply dystopian in mood.



Fortes D’Aloia & Gabriel, formerly Galeria Fortes Vilaça, presents a diverse and dynamic programme of exhibitions featuring Brazilian and international artists, alongside screenings, book launches, talks, and kids’ workshops. The gallery was founded in 2001 by Márcia Fortes and Alessandra D’Aloia, and took on its current name in 2016 when Alexandre Gabriel transitioned from Art Director to partner.
