Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, 1992. Lives and works in São Paulo, Brazil.
Gabriella Garcia is a self-taught artist, whose practice moves between sculpture. painting and installation.
Gabriella's work understands not only the place where it is but also that from which it derives.
Cut-out figures take up the space from works where different materials dialogue in the construction of pieces that have, in their compositions, relationships with the scenic, with architecture and that propose perspectives of a new history based on images and materials, often rescued and restored by the artist.
When constructing an image, whether two- or three-dimensional. Garcia works in a continuous effort of fusion: an incessant search for the assimilation of materials that, in their essence, bring in their materiality historical data and new ideas of representation based on a proposal of discontinuation of historical farces.
The works test a vivid exercise in confrontation between gesture and nature; manipulation vs restructuring, creating a game where what is understood as terrain is the unique possibility that the artistic gesture has of rewriting our own history.
