Gouache on paper

From a series of large-scale gouaches, this work combines a concrete architectural structure with two rectangular sections of color, one pink, the other green. The image of the architectural structure draws on the Casa Antônio Junqueira in São Paulo, built 1976-80 by the Brazilian architect Paulo Mendes da Rocha. Several plants expanding in ornate undulations are depicted silhouetted against the elements.
