CARMEN THOMPSON The artist Carmen Thompson lives in Rio de Janeiro where she investigates a variety of materials for the production of masks, sculptures, paintings, watercolors and drawings. Since 2008, she has experimented with etching, where she interferes subtly in the process of printing and through the use of color, in search for an alchemic opulence. Born in Minas Gerais, by the time she was 10 she was already living in Rio de Janeiro and had started her classical ballet studies. Later she has attended modern and contemporary dance courses. The artist arms herself with her dancing experience as an instrument of her action, in the space and on the paper. She opens the eye to possibility, unique and unexpected, at the same time continuous like the movement and poetic like a drawing. For this Set/2014 exhibition in New York, the artist will show her new phase of works, whereby she handles photography as a starting point for development leading to a creative work on the captured images using digital art resources.
