Carmela Gross

Carmela Gross (1946, São Paulo, Brazil) participated in the Bienal de São Paulo for the second time in 1969, the same year she completed her BA in arts at FAAP, in a course conceived by Professor Flávio Motta based on his proposal for a training course for teachers in the field of drawing. Since that time, Gross has structured her work by a complex understanding of project and drawing. Aware of drawing’s power as a formative action to impress intentionalities on the world’s material organization, she often explores ways of subverting the operation of drawing, using techniques and languages to design scribbles, noises and outlines.
