Pivô Salvador invites you to the Open Studio on August 13th, Tuesday, from 2 PM to 9 PM, marking the end of Márcia Falcão’s artist residency.
Constantly exploring the dialogue between the materiality of painting and the experiences of the female body, the artist worked at Pivô Salvador on the dualities of presence and absence, fullness and emptiness, motherhood and solitude. The marked gestures and thick paint in the nine works produced during the residency suggest a visceral and authentic reintegration of motherhood into her poetics.
With Pivô Salvador’s doors open throughout the afternoon and early evening, Márcia Falcão will be showcasing her developed works. At 7 PM, curator Fernanda Brenner will join an open conversation with the artist and the public.
Accompanying the program, Feijoada da Paula will be served in the kitchen.

Márcia Falcão was born in Rio de Janeiro in 1985, raised in the Irajá neighborhood and lives and works in the suburbs of Rio de Janeiro. Drawing on her own experience, the artist’s figurative paintings present expressive representations of the female body, underlining the complexity of the social context in which it is inserted, crossed by a dubiously beautiful and violent landscape. The feminine, motherhood, beauty standards and gender violence are recurring themes that run through her paintings, marked by gesture and physicality. Her solo exhibitions are Pai Contra Mãe, Instituto Inclusartiz, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (2023); Márcia Falcão, Fortes D’Aloia & Gabriel, São Paulo, Brazil (2022); Márcia Falcão, Carpintaria, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (2021) e Para Além do corpo: nudez semântica, Galeria Aymoré, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (2020).
