A Pintura na Caixa

Renata Tassinari

From Nov 11 2011 to Jan 19 2012

The process of "giving a body to the colour" dates back to 1993, when Tassinari introduced new materials to her paintings. Since then, the artist's work has been focused on the use of varied mediums, from synthetic fabrics to different types of paint and acrylic. "I wanted my work to be something more artesian, and, at the same time, incorporate something more industrialised like the acrylic, incorporating other elements to the composition." 

The use of wood in her work comes into play as an additional element to give body and volume to your colour. "I always work with rough cut wood, playing with it both as hue and as a contrast when you have a stronger motif, as it is in the case of woods such as walnut or jequitibá, which has an intricate pattern."

All elements that make Tassinari's work are organised in order to install a sense of object in the work of thinking through the colour intensity. The works consist of heterogeneous mountable parts, which are combined by the artist harmonically.
