Marina Rheingantz - Maré at White Cube Mayson's Yard
Marina Rheingantz, a São Paulo-based artist, presents her debut UK solo exhibition during Frieze London. The exhibition, titled 'Maré' (Portuguese for 'Tide'), showcases recent paintings, embroidery, and tapestry works that express a textural liquidity, capturing the movement and space within landscapes. Rheingantz's art reflects a dissonant blend of order and chaos, integrating formal patterns with instinctive strokes, redefining landscape painting.
Her paintings, like Maré Baixa (2023), inspired by a visit to Patacho beach in Brazil, illustrate the tidal oscillations and impending submersion under the lunar path. Pieces such as Canastra and Lightning Water (both 2023) intensify the portrayal, with the latter showing a cascade of electric sparks. Further works like Oferenda, Arabesco, and Rosário (all 2023) pay homage to Rheingantz's journeys through India, Moroccan tapestries, and Mexican frescoes. The blue paintings, Oferenda and Riverbed (both 2023), draw from her experience at the Ganges River in Varanasi during Hindu death rituals.
Floral elements offset the blue hues, reminiscent of offerings during Brazil’s festival dedicated to the goddess Iemanjá. Rheingantz has explored new mediums, collaborating on embroidery with her mother and venturing into tapestry work with Jorge Francisco Soto. This cross-disciplinary approach exposes the paintings’ construction through stitchwork, creating a hybrid of density and delicacy. Her artwork 'Células' (2023) reflects Rheingantz's recent diagnosis of thyroid cancer, depicting an internal mapping of cellular structures.
The paintings evoke a visceral language, resonating with bodily vulnerability. Rheingantz’s expansive landscapes deconstruct topography, influenced by memories and Brazil's shifting infrastructure. The artist navigates place from various perspectives, portraying it as both perceived and intuited. Marina Rheingantz's work has been showcased in solo and group exhibitions worldwide, and her art resides in several international collections.
On view: 10 October – 11 November 2023
