Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, 1991.
Lives and works in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Manoela Medeiros uses in her research different medias, essentially: sculpture, painting and installations. Having the presence and the use of the body as the main instrument in the research process of her work, the artist tries to address abstractions through questioning time and space, the lack and invisible.
Manoela has already presented her work at the Thaddaeus Ropac Gallery (Paris), Iberê Camargo Foundation (Porto Alegre), Fortes D’Aloia & Gabriel (São Paulo), Caixa Cultural (Rio de Janeiro), Le Beffroi (Paris) and others. Her recent solo exhibitions include “Poeira Varrida” at Fortes D’Aloia & Gabriel (São Paulo, Brazil), 2017 and “Falling Walls” Double V Gallery (Marseille, France), 2017.
