Gabriela Giroletti

Porto Alegre, Brasil, 1982.
Vive e trabalha em Londres, Reino Unido.

Formada em Artes Plásticas pela Middlesex University, é mestre em Pintura pela Slade School of Fine Art, em Londres, onde posteriormente atuou como pesquisadora no Departamento de Pintura entre 2019 e 2020. Seu trabalho explora a linguagem da pintura e suas infinitas possibilidades como metáfora para a vida e suas experiências. A artista utiliza composição, linha, cor, forma, marca, textura e processo como elementos estruturantes de sua investigação abstrata.

Partindo de um alfabeto subconsciente com referências e formas vinculadas à paisagem e à natureza e que carregam relações de composição e cor, essas imagens são acessadas de modo intuitivo e tornam-se matéria inicial para investigação. No entanto, é no processo que a pintura assume protagonismo: em diálogo com a natureza dos materiais, a obra passa a responder a gestos, decisões e acidentes, afirmando sua própria lógica interna. O resultado dessas ações é um retorno ao ponto de partida, em que a referência inicial à natureza reaparece como energia acumulada, da artista, dos materiais e do próprio processo. Sua pesquisa recente enfatiza a pintura expandida e a pintura-objeto, tensionando os limites do plano bidimensional e acentuando a presença física da obra.

Porto Alegre, Brasil, 1982. Vive e trabalha em Londres, Reino Unido.

Gabriela Giroletti: Breezy

Painter Gabriela Giroletti gives insight into her motivations, artistic influences, and techniques, on the occasion of her solo exhibition Breezy at Kristin Hjellegjerde Gallery, London in 2021.

Studio KIND. presents: 'At Once and a Touch Away' by Gabriela Giroletti

Gabriela Giroletti talks to us about her new body of work, available to visit at Studio KIND. in Braunton or as a virtual exhibition at www.studiokind.org.uk. Studio KIND. is a new artist-led contemporary gallery, project space and studios, located in the heart of North Devon. Founded as a community interest company in 2020, Studio KIND. presents the work of both local and national, early-career and established artists through an ambitious and diverse programme of exhibitions and events, curated to excite imaginations, challenge perceptions and create connections. Studio KIND. is run by Richard Gregory and Laura Porter. Gabriela Giroletti is a Brazilian-born painter living and working in London. Through her impasto painting style, Gabriela is developing a unique symbolic glossary, characterised by the constant tension between the pictorial and human presence - the imagined and the material. Existing somewhere between abstract and figurative, painting and drawing, micro and macro, body and nature, still life and landscape, simple and complex, her work performs a push and pull game between body and mind; making and thinking.
