Marina Caverzan impregnates the constructive tradition with matter, color and spirit, creating a transcendental geometry in paintings of intense symbolism, which incorporate concepts from astronomy, architecture, physics, ritualism, art history – and the artist’s own desires.
Born in Leme (SP, 1981), and with a degree in Visual Arts from Faculdade Santa Marcelina (FASM-SP), Marina Caverzan particularizes, updates and challenges constructive visual thinking, based on aesthetic, ethical and philosophical provocations – including gender issues – directed at the tradition of geometric abstractionism. When we come across the artist’s work, at first glance we relate it to constructivism, in a painting characterized by the prevalence of recurring geometric shapes, mainly triangles and circles, sometimes fragmented and interconnected by the line. The attentive eye, however, gradually enters “a work full of intense symbolism, conceived from the exploration of materiality, in the relationships between planes, perspectives and dimensions, in a constructive mode influenced by architecture and inspired by the relationships of the sacred, which is understood by the artist and multifaceted in her works”, as Alice Burato notes. Lines, shapes and colors gain autonomy and boldness to interrupt, fragment and deviate, questioning perspective and spatial order in an ironic and witty way. The artist thus achieves expanded geometric thinking, incorporating various fields of thought to create hidden spaces in works with multiple readings and meanings. Marina also uses different materials and surfaces, such as cement, glass, charcoal and graphite, as well as paper, exploring the perception of light and contrasting different planes and textures. Given that the male perspective predominated for centuries in Western geometric rationality, the artist’s work is a sort of confrontation with this hegemony.
Marina Caverzan dissects the originality of a poetics that draws from alchemy, esotericism, mathematics, physics, architecture and even literature to challenge and reinvigorate the repertoire of geometric abstractionism, imbuing rationality with the occult and the symbolic.
Marina Caverzan, I Ching (coleção), 2023, acrílica sobre tela, 80 x 240 cm.
Marina Caverzan operates in a field that has historically been dominated by men, an attitude that is especially relevant in our century, when the fight for gender equality is increasingly bringing about changes in society and art. The artist adds new possibilities to an aesthetic tradition that is prodigal in establishing parallels with social systems and paradigms for reform and the establishment of new realities.
