In her paintings, Marina Rheingantz expresses herself through color and gesture, allowing shifting spaces and atmospheres to emerge from the surface of the canvas. Thick patches of oil paint, with their tactile quality, evoke the weave of fabric and the texture of landscape. Since her beginnings in 2005, the artist has stripped her compositions of any representational traces, preserving the landscape only as structural framework for abstract horizons and imagined depths. For nearly a decade, Rheingantz has developed a body of textile works, initially through embroidery and, more recently, though intricately woven jacquard, revealing strong analogies between her pictorial and textile techniques. In both, she employs a rhythmic gesture that, on her canvases, translates into surfaces animated by lines and patches of color acting as volumes and masses.

For the exhibition Rodamoinho, Rheingantz presents a group of recent works that expand her dialogue between painting and weaving, between abstraction and the sedimentation of memory.
