"Egg with Landscape Inside" is composed of a brass sculpture that houses an embedded egg. Made of mineral resin, the egg opens in the middle, revealing inside a small brass plate with a landscape painting done in oil paint.
The work revisits essential and recurring forms in my research: the gesture of joining hands, which gives rise to the egg, structures created to hold other objects, and "domestic landscapes," scenes guided by a horizon line, where things exist and blend into the background and the environment, whether bottles or the view of the mountains.
The title is literal, but it also alludes to a phrase by filmmaker Agnès Varda: "If we open people up, we will find landscapes," a poetic vision of human nature and the relationship between interior and exterior, memory and the world.
The artwork functions as an excavation of the origin of forms, expressing humanity's primordial impulses: creation, shelter, life, and death.
Biography
Breeze Noronha
Brisa Noronha is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice unfolds across drawing, painting, porcelain, photography, and video, exploring attentive listening to materials and the balance between intention and the behavior of matter. Holding a Master's degree in Visual Arts from the University of São Paulo, where she articulated her research with the Institute of Physics, and a Bachelor's degree in Social Communication from the Pontifical Catholic University of São Paulo and in Visual Arts from Faculdade Santa Marcelina (2015), Brisa constructs an empirical and experimental body of work in which time presents itself as visible matter in layers, rhythms, and subtle variations. Her objects, frequently grouped or aligned by intuitive affinities, invite contemplation of textures, transparencies, and irregularities, revealing delicate systems that balance order and accident, control and deviation. Between conceptual proposition and the handling of the material, her work finds form in the intertwining of matter, time, and thought.
Among his solo exhibitions, highlights include "The Bones of the World" at Sé Galeria, São Paulo, Brazil (2021), "Invited artist" at MIA Anywhere, MIA Collection Virtual Museum (2020), "The Soap Dishes" at the Ribeirão Preto Art Museum (2019), "Keeping Something" at Galeria Murilo Castro, Belo Horizonte, Brazil, and "Gesture" at the Blumenau Art Museum, Blumenau, Brazil (2018), as well as "The State of Forms" at the Same Place Project - Which House, São Paulo, Brazil (2015).
Among her participations in group exhibitions, highlights include "Melodia" at Residência Fonte, São Paulo, Brazil, and "Curvas de Animação" at Sé Galeria, São Paulo, Brazil (2023), "Mãe" at Espaço Cama, São Paulo, Brazil (2022), "Diamante-grafite-carvão" at Residência Fonte, São Paulo, Brazil, and "Nothing is gonna change my world?" at Gr_und, Berlin, Germany (2021), "Até a terra" at New Gallery, São Paulo, Brazil, and "Corpo, gesto, palavra, sangue, Brasil, abismo" at Sé Galeria, São Paulo, Brazil (2020), as well as "Ânima - Mergulhos da Piscina" at CC Espaço, São Paulo, Brazil, and "No dia primeiro no nono andar" at Galeria LAMB-SP, São Paulo, Brazil (2019).
Brisa Noronha was awarded a grant from the Freedom to Create program at the Arteles Creative Residency in Finland in 2017, and received an award at the 22nd Praia Grande Contemporary Art Salon in Brazil (2015). Her works are featured in important publications such as "entre(tempos): Casa Zalzupin" (ACT Editora, 2022) and "Os ossos do mundo" (Sé Galeria Educação, 2021), consolidating her presence in the Brazilian and international contemporary art scene.
