“The work of Marisa Ferreira (b.1983) operates within the field of perception and spatial
experience, from the visitor’s point of view. Her work traces its lineage to modernism
(Suprematism and modern Design) updating issues that produced a rift—partially solved
by geometric abstraction and Minimalism—in a intense battle against figuration and
landscape. Through the use of elementary geometric shapes, the artist regularly evokes the visual atmospheres of Suprematism, displayed by the presence of the square, the rectangle, and the triangle in a three-dimensional perspective. Colour emerges as a constructive form, but mainly as an instigator of perception combined with the simplification of forms, it seeks an approaching movement from the visitor. This seeing with the body, this seeing is believing, is one of the great virtues of her sculptures. Our curiosity would only be satisfied if we could touch it—to realize that, after all, the angular surface of her works is made of cold matter: aluminium, stainless steel, and glass.” |
