Thalita Hamaoui Joins Marianne Boesky Gallery

New York-based Marianne Boesky Gallery announced that São Paulo artist Thalita Hamaoui has joined its roster, to be co-represented with Curitiba-based Simões de Assis. Trained under Sandra Cinto, the artist turned to textiles and painting. Boesky writes: “Throughout her vibrant, kaleidoscopic paintings, Thalita Hamaoui (b. 1981; São Paulo, Brazil) imagines fantastical, overgrown landscapes that glow with a rich, internal luminosity. Building her work layer upon layer, Hamaoui conjures dense jungles amidst constant transformation—each element of the landscape seemingly poised on the verge of change: growing, blooming, evolving.” More here
