“Tabuleiro” is an experience of the world that involves the relationship with color. Small yellow and orange groups outline a certain solarity that permeates the mysterious and more faded language of other small groups in the set of works, which do not have a chromatic sequence, but house contrasting colors in which the palette blends into a lively painting that continues to make discursive passages throughout the process. The entire surrounding landscape is transmuted into iconographic elements that are configured as pieces of a game of which we will only know the result at the end: in the act of assembly, a new painting will be outlined.
A kind of irradiation occurs in the whole: gray blocks are quickly flooded with bright colors as if in an epiphanic gesture that simultaneously houses all the stars, the pulse of nature through plants or animals in a new configuration, the incandescence of the sun and the opacity of the night. Each fragment merely alludes to the limit between nature and culture and, in the proposed game, there is construction and also the excavation of the abyss of things. In the grouping of the improbable there are planets, natural curves of the golden ratio, distinct colors and oscillating shapes. There is beauty and wonder. A cosmology of its own is invented in the making and in the perpetual attempt to inscribe the orbit of the planets, the strange organs, the power of images, the folds and refolds of matter under different prisms and angles.
Bianca Coutinho Dias – psychoanalyst and art critic
Produced during 2021 and totaling 180 paintings, the works are a continuation of the "Construction" series, from 2018. The series were conceived with the aim of raising funds for the construction of the Serra Morena studio and artistic residence, located in Serra do Cipó in Minas Gerais.

Biography
Gisele Camargo
Gisele Camargo has a degree in Visual Arts from the School of Fine Arts at UFRJ, a degree she completed in parallel with her philosophy studies. While living in Rio de Janeiro, her work presented landscapes that referred to the urban universe, with a restricted palette, such as the series “Panavison” 2009, “33 triptychs” 2010 and “Falsa Espera” 2012. The latter was recorded in a book.
In March 2017, the artist moved to Serra do Cipó, a change that was reflected in her work when the rudiments of an organic landscape opened the color palette and added symbolic elements to the paintings. These characteristics can be observed in the development of the series “Brutos” 2016, “Paisagens Gráficas” 2017, “Erosões” 2018, “Construção” 2018, “Tabuleiro” 2020.
Some of the solo exhibitions she has recently held: “Board”, Carbono Gallery (São Paulo, SP, 2021); “Erosions”, Central Gallery (São Paulo, SP, 2019); “Construction”, Carbono Gallery (São Paulo, SP, 2018); “Moons, Brutes and Suns”, Luciana Caravello Contemporary Art (Rio de Janeiro, RJ, 2018); “Moons, Brutes and Suns”,
