"The 'Skeletons' edition was designed exclusively for Carbono Galeria. The set of pieces is a kind of visual alphabet, an organization of lines, shapes and textures. I start from the combination of basic elements: the circle, the square and basic colors. Then, each piece functions as an individual, they float inseparable from their set and, more than that, they are part of a narrative that acts in the architectural space. The shapes and lines of the Skeletons are not distributed merely as a visual dynamic, an exercise in perception; the shapes and lines are part of a visual space that mobilizes meanings. "

Biography

Ana Mazzei - Carbono Galeria

Anna Mazzei

b. 1979, São Paulo (SP), Brazil | Lives and works in São Paulo (SP), Brazil.

The work of artist Ana Mazzei takes literature and theater as its starting point to materialize diverse situations of observation and staging in the form of installations, sculptures, drawings, photographs and performances. By using the imagery of epic or mythological narratives, her installations suggest a performance in which it is unclear whether the audience observes or is observed. Mazzei's objects and sculptures are understood in relation to the body and question notions of orientation, positioning and organization that govern the way we relate to space. The artist evokes recurring images from the history of painting, many of them biblical metaphors, but also political symbolism and scientific and philosophical speculations about the universe.

Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Armando Alvares Penteado Foundation (FAAP- São Paulo) and Master in Visual Poetics from UNICAMP-SP, in 2013 she was selected as a resident artist at the Cité Internationale des Arts - Paris with a scholarship provided by FAAP. In 2011/12 she participated in the Independent Studies Program of the São Paulo School (PIESP) directed by Adriano Pedrosa. She is a member and founder of Teatro Facada and has held solo exhibitions at several institutions, such as the Museum of Modern Art of São Paulo (2018, São Paulo, Brazil), the Almine Rech Gallery (2017, New York - USA), the Fundacion Saludarte (2016, Miami, USA), Galeria Emmanuel Harve (2016, Paris, France), Galeria Davide Gallo (2015, Milan, Italy), Centro Cultural São Paulo (2014, São Paulo, Brazil), Galeria Jaqueline Martins (2014, São Paulo, Brazil), Galeria Zipper (2012, São Paulo, Brazil) and La Maudite (2013, Paris, France).
