Elizabeth Jobim
Elizabeth Jobim is a designer and artist associated with the Generation 80 group of painters who are credited with stimulating a rebirth of painting in Brazil the 1980s. She studied with Anna Bella Geiger and Eduardo Sued at the Modern Art Museum of Rio de Janeiro early in her career which led to works that feature geometrically structured compositions. Lines and colors extend from the opposite sides of surfaces, emphasizing the three-dimensional character of a screen stretched on a chassis. Her paintings often unfold in diptychs and triptychs of different depths, which create a further spatial creep. According to the artist, her work describes “that moment of observing things, but not only how we look at it, but also how we build our vision geometrically, organising our perception of spatiality of things and the world.”
The artist has participated in the 5th Mercosul Biennial and has had solo exhibitions at the Imperial Palace in Rio de Janeiro and the Pinacoteca do Estado de São Paulo. Her work has also been exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art in Rio de Janeiro, the Art Museum Modern in São Paulo, the National Gallery of Fine Arts in Beijing, Lehman College Art Gallery …
