LUCIANA LEVINTON
I was born in 1977 in Buenos Aires, Argentina, where I live and Work.
I am visual artist, graduated in Architecture and Urbanism, University of Buenos Aires in 2004.
I explore the relation between pictorial and architectural language.
In the 2019- 2021 series, the paintings are carried out following research on the work of Lina Bo Bardi and Charlotte Perriand.
In my paintings, I synthesized the architecture through a decoding process, and turn it into abstract forms.
Through my work, the work and figures of women are recovered, in the past as women they did not have their rightful place.
Architecture is the concept of my works. I take floor plans, sections, facades and selected architectural spaces as a springboard to paint a journey towards abstraction and mystery.
Shapes are not fully defined but suggested. The scenarios in my works are always empty; planes and structures make them up in overlapping shades creating different environments and atmospheres.
Successive layers of oil painting are always present in my work. At the same time, the layers often take on another meaning and refer to different projects leading to the presence of two themes or forms on the same canvas, a migration of structures from one work to another, generating several spatial dimensions such as a detail of the Whitney Museum on a first layer referring to the roof of the Grand Palais. The image appears or retracts.
I paint in oils on canvas, oil on paper, I carry out interventions in acrylic on pages of 70s architecture magazine pages and large scale murals.
