Painting, Wall Intervention
Intervening on the terrace, Marcela Sinclair pictorially replicates the horizon of the landscape on the wall of the Proa balcony. In so doing, the work inserts the Boca landscape, as seen from the edge of the wall, into the institution itself. In this way it produces an effect of perspective: the horizon of the neighborhood, the architecture of Proa, and the Boca landscape become a panoramic postcard. The painting emphasizes that framework, and at the same time enables an overflow, a flood. In this way, the limit /horizon is subverted to generate questions, and their notable and natural forms through the plastic, all highlighting their beauty.
Sinclair describes his work: "The painting, in a glossy blue-black enamel, copies the landscape that is seen over the visual barrier that the wall establishes. The landscape of the Vuelta de Rocha is reintroduced but inverted, it is more a reflection or a shadow. It returns to the place it once occupied having been turned on its head. The glossy black-oil water of the Riachuelo, so contaminated and dirty, grows and extends beyond the limits of this new architecture. But without smell or dirtiness.” The line, geometry, the bi-dimension, form, and beauty, are all important concepts explored in this work.
