Regina Silveira | GRAPHOS

Luciana Brito Galeria, São Paulo, 2025
28 April 2025

The exhibition GRAPHOS, a solo show by Regina Silveira, presents her artwork of the same name, conceived in 1991, several years before her first exhibition at Luciana Brito Galeria in 1998. This recovery of an unrealized work represents nearly three decades of collaboration and shows the evolution of Regina Silveira's research, which has always been at the forefront of studies in perception and visual representation, keeping step with new technological possibilities in art. The site-specific installation GRAPH was initially designed following analog graphic rules to correct the architectural perspectives of Storefront for Art and Architecture in New York during her John Simon Guggenheim Foundation fellowship (1991). Although it was selected for implementation, the building's preservation rules prevented the project's execution, since at that time the artist painted her works directly on the walls.

Thirty-four years later, the artist is now revisiting the same installation for the similarly structured space of Luciana Brito Galeria's pavilion, with its distinctive triangular floor plan. For this purpose, GRAPH has been adapted to digital graphic resources, enabling the production and application of adhesive vinyl on the pavilion walls, virtually correcting its irregular angles from the viewer's perspective. Regina Silveira harnesses digital technology tools to develop and execute her works, allowing her to work remotely. For example, the artist recently inaugurated her commissioned work Paradise at George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) in Houston (TX – USA).
