Regina Silveiras is a Brazilian artist, who for many years has been at the forefront in creating works of art, which oblige us to rethink our take on perspective.
One of her most memorable exhibitions was in Poland entitled, ‘Depth’. It expressed her increasing fascination with architecture and she recreated her view of the gallery, in particular the windows, in a way which allowed the viewer to become a part of the dizzying height of the structure.
She is presently exhibiting a selection of her work at The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum in Ridgeway, Connecticut, called ‘In Absentia.’ It consists of a number of empty pedestals and the enormous shadow of an object which had at one time occupied each pedestal, presented in such a way that our perception of space is redefined.
Her work is created of black vinyl adhesive and is equally impressive in public or private spaces, no project is too large or too outrageous for this unique artist. She states: “The ability to create a dialogue with increasingly extensive architectural spaces and the opportunity for conceiving and realising interventions in specific architecture is a trend in my work that began in the 70s and has continued until today.”
