Manoela Medeiros: Tropical Still Life marks her U.S. debut with layered paintings and wall excavations. Using acrylic, pigment, and industrial tools, she carves into surfaces to reveal textures and colors that evoke organic growth. Her site-specific wall works uncover hidden strata, merging painting with architecture. The exhibition explores time, erosion, and memory, transforming surfaces into living records of construction, decay, and renewal.
