MARINA RHEINGANTZ
b. 1983, BrazilLandscape 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.
Exquisite wastelands, delicately dotted with suggestions of ruined structures and abandoned encampments, exuding an atmosphere as diffuse as memory itself. In this delicately constructed scenery human presence is never overt, instead it appears only in vestiges.
