«Pale-blush
sunrise
in an 80 degree angle leaning up against the wall facing front
gazing
ahead in straight line walking on the horizon
Caching glimpse
of shadows the ones that feel and fit well for the rode has worries where the
rest of them haunt until they fade out
in the Pale-blush
sundown.»
Working with
painting, sculpture and performance, Icelandic artist Jóhanna Kristbjörg
Sigurðardóttir (*1982, Reykjavík) develops a poetic work that refers to
small things of everyday life, her perception of the environment in which she
is inserted and her relationship with a nature.
For her
exhibition at KUNSTHALLE São Paulo,
her first solo show in Brazil, the artist worked in response to her first
impressions over the city, during the few days she spent in São Paulo. The
title of the show is a poem written by her before coming to Brazil, which lead
the way to the production of a wall painting with geometric abstractions in
shades of red and brown, and a series of sculptures laying on the exhibition
space’s floor.
