Press Release
Solange Pessoa (b. 1961, Ferros, Brazil, lives and works in Belo Horizonte) is an artist renowned for her poetic works that intersect and contemplate nature, the human body, and the forces that shape existence. Her practice often delves into the realms of the organic and the metaphysical, with a focus on the materiality of life. Pessoa’s work is influenced by her surroundings, particularly the natural environment of her native Minas Gerais, Brazil, in which the mining of iron ore, gemstones, gold, and other minerals, is a prevalent force. As such, Pessoa’s work is rooted in the telluric relationship with the landscape and the body, revealing hidden aspects of the earth. Through dreamlike installations, sculptures, drawings, ceramics, and paintings, Pessoa entwines the geological with the unconscious of the human species to unearth the connection between matter and memory.
