Notes on Colour (multiple), 2015
“For her first solo exhibition in Portugal, Marisa Ferreira presents a new series of works with the aim of investigating the place of colour in her artistic practice. The works reflect on the ontology of painting and present how time, space and colour occur as sensory phenomena. Combining principles of movement with colour theory, the project "Transparency, Reflection and Colour" (2016) thus analyses the observer's physical and mental participation, according to his/her experience and movement in space.”
-- by Marisa Ferreira, 2016
“Marisa Ferreira’s colourful art invites us to view actively, to move around, to be aware of our looking. As individual works of art and as an ensemble, they encourage participatory aesthetic experiences rather then passive ones, transforming our understanding by encouraging active vision, movement, and thought.”
-- from art historian Martin Fox’s exhibition text
Some of the works were later exhibited at Buskerud Kunstsenter, Norway, Spring 2017.
