Katharina Welper

The work of Rio de Janeiro artist Katharina Welper is linked to a craft which is almost obsessive and which sees memory as a defining locus for the development of its poetry. Another decisive factor in her production is its multifaceted and hybrid nature, as she fluidly moves among various genres such as painting, drawing, collage, performance and textile art and 3-D work. And, if we can select a common element in this movement across genres, this thread may be highlighted, as it transmutes in multiple forms between abundance and concision, deconstruction and creation, break and continuity, for example.
