Teresa Viana : The painting as tactile thought

  • We are pleased to announce Teresa Viana (Rio de Janeiro, 1960) as represented artist. She explores painting as a language and the possibility of the expansion of thought through this language. Her body of work, developed since the 1990s, seeks a profusion of intense synesthetic, physical and visual sensations, organised as “tactile thought”. Her encaustic installations and paintings dialogue with sculptural three-dimensionality through vibrant colours that go beyond the pictorial surface, thus stimulating a tactile and lateral gaze. Tereza Viana’s work includes also other media such as drawings on paper, digital works, feltings, collages and site specifics.
