Gisele Camargo
Gisele Camargo was born on July 11, 1970, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. She is a Brazilian painter and photographer who works in photography, video, and painting. She is best known for her pictorial meditations on urban and cinematic landscapes.[1] She was formally trained at the Escola de Belas-Artes (EBA) of the Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro in the late 1990s. While in the institution, Camargo was part of a group of students who concentrated on issues of urban experience and visual culture in Rio de Janeiro. Camargo was different from the rest of her classmates, while they engaged mostly with multimedia language she remained a painter, with sporadic forays into photography and photocollage.[2]
Exhibitions[edit]
Gisele Camargo's art focuses on landscapes, spaces, and architecture, and often portrays empty landscapes or places without time reference. With straight angles and contrasts between light and shadow, she occupies her exhibition spaces creating fluid narratives. Camargo participated in exhibitions such as Cruzamentos-Arte Contemporânea Brasileria, organized by Jennifer Lange, Chris Stults and Paulo Venancio Fiho at the Wexner Center for the Arts in Ohio. She also participated in Nova Art Nova, organized by Paulo Venancio Fiho at Centro Cultural Banco, and Falsa Espera at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Rio de Janeiro.[3] Camargo's work has been exhibited extensively throughout Rio de Janeiro, and collected internationally. In 2013, she was awarded the Art Heritage Award from IPHAN, and in 2011, she received the Ibram prize for Contemporary Art. She also received the Sim Visual Arts Prize in 2008.[4]
