Campinas, Brazil, 1974.
Lives and works in Curitiba, Brazil.
Tatiana Stropp has been creating paintings with oil paint on aluminium plates by using a seemingly simple procedure: colour stripes made from a single stroke of the brush. The colour palette results from the different stripes overlapping and/or juxtaposing both horizontally and vertically.
From this simple painting process, and the rigueur of repeatedly producing the coloured stripes with a single brushstroke, Tatiana Stropp has developed a painting technique that highlights several colour shades as well as the opacities and transparencies resulting from the colour accumulation that takes place on the aluminium surface. The thin and transparent paint layers cause the colours to mix on top of the aluminium surface, creating situations of opacity and ambient light reflection. It is a simple work that begins and ends with each brushstroke, but which, as the colour stripes overlap and crisscross, reveals a new universe of hues, opacities, light reflections – the simple becomes complex.
Tatiana develops her artistic research with paintings on aluminum plates. Brushstrokes that overlap and/or juxtapose horizontally and vertically sliding with oil paint in mixtures of colors and dilutions that follow through the metal. The aluminum plates and sheets are painted for weeks in a process that approximates Veladura, incorporating ambient light into its surface.
The construction of the paintings brings in their visuality a palette of colors intertwined in brushstrokes, volume, luminosity and angles that incline our senses as they overflow from the wall into space. The artist invites a visual experience between reflections, folds, transparencies and chromatic materialities.
