Regina Silveira Brazilian, b. 1939

1939. Porto Alegre, Brazil. Lives and works in Sao Paulo. 

 

Throughout more than four decades, Silveira, a critical figure in Brazilian conceptual art, has investigated the tension between movement and spatial perspective, threading political meaning into installations that respond to specific sites. In the 1950s she began her artistic training under the tutelage of expressionist painter Iberê Camargo, studying lithography and woodcut, as well as painting. Renowned for her parodic explorations of space through geometric constructs, SilveiraΚΌs work is celebrated for both its conceptual rigor and formal impact.
