Artists

São Paulo, SP, Brazil, 1985

Alice Ricci, a visual artist from the city of São Paulo, adopts a work process based on the observation of physical and virtual spaces and landscapes, focused on the different places she moves through. It is from the visual compositions and formal arrangements that result from these studies and displacements that her paintings, drawings, and installations emerge.

Through compositions drawn with lines, color planes, and geometric figures, her works offer a new perception of the visible, resulting from the accumulation of a series of landscapes in a single image. Her pieces invite prolonged gazes and extended contemplation, while still resisting straightforward decoding, establishing a relationship between fiction and mapping.

Throughout her career, Ricci has participated in residencies, projects, and exhibitions in various locations. Among the most recent are, in 2024: Clarabóia, a project created together with artist Leka Mendes, curated by Tálisson Melo, SODA, São Paulo, SP, Brazil; in 2023: she participates in the Rogério Duarte Residency at Centro Cultural Veras, Florianópolis, SC, Brazil; creates the site-specific Redesenho Suspenso no Espaço, for the PONTE Program, at Projeto Fidalga, in São Paulo, SP, Brazil; and takes part in the group exhibition Obra Xerox, curated by Suyan de Mattos, at the Museum of Art of Brasília, DF, Brazil; in 2022: Habitat Serrinha, curated by Fábio Delduque and Helena Huschel, at Parque Natural Arte Serrinha, Bragança Paulista, SP, Brazil; Comunidad en Lincoln: Contemporary Art and Social Processes Residency, group exhibition curated by Laura Khalloub, Paola Fabres, and Rodolfo Sala, at El Obrador, Buenos Aires, Argentina; and the solo exhibition Na Superfície Silenciosa das Formas, curated by RodriguezRemor, at OMA Galeria, São Paulo, SP, Brazil; and in 2021, she takes part in the 100 W Corsicana Artist & Writer Residency, in Corsicana, Texas, USA, and in the Mirante Xique-Xique residency, in Igatu, Chapada Diamantina, BA, Brazil.
