Content:
Sonia Gomes' biomorphic sculptures have an eerie, almost magical presence. Born in 1948 as the daughter of a black mother and a white textile industrialist, she grew up between two worlds. But the African culture and spirituality of her mother and grandmother, as well as an interest in rituals, processions, and myths, made a lasting impact on her life and her later work as an artist. As a teenager, Gomes began deconstructing textiles and items of clothing to create her own style and to make both items for practical use and craft objects. Having previously participated in the 56th Venice Biennale in 2015, Sonia Gomes now counts among the most influential artists in Brazil. Exhibition: Salon Berlin of Museum Frieder Burda, Berlin, Germany (07.09.2019 - 22.02.2020) / Museum Frieder Burda, Baden-Baden, Germany (12.10.2019 - 08.03.2020)
