Brazilian artist Alice Ricci presents her first solo exhibition in Argentina, showcasing a series of paintings created between 2021 and 2024. The works stem from a process that began during her participation in an artistic residency at CRUDO in 2019.

Starting from drawings on paper, based on fragments of landscapes observed in the city of Rosario, the artist expanded this process into painting, through the observation and synthesis of various landscapes she inhabited or captured from Google Street View. In this transition from paper to canvas, the artist explored planes, color, and light, allowing her to construct imaginary landscapes that somewhat diverged from "reference landscapes."

Ricci balances color planes and tone transitions, overlaying small, detailed geometric drawings that suggest the beginning of an architectural construction. In this way, the artist invites the viewer on a visual journey, offering a moment of respite in the gaze, through colors close to white contrasted with fluorescent and saturated palettes in the small compositions.
