Gabriel Pessoto
Recent works by the São Paulo-based artist reveal an increasingly spatial and sculptural approach to textile. Moving between tapestry, installation, and structural forms, Pessoto investigates how woven surfaces, domestic materials, and decorative languages can operate as systems of image construction, psychological projection, and bodily presence.
His practice frequently combines soft materials with industrial supports, exposing the tension between fragility and containment, ornament and structure. Visible frameworks, suspended elements, folds, and woven textures remain central to the works, transforming textile into something simultaneously architectural and intimate.
While earlier projects established the conceptual foundations of his research through domestic memory and image culture, recent developments expand these investigations into larger physical structures and spatial relationships. Textile no longer functions only as surface or representation, but as a material capable of shaping space, perception, and emotional atmosphere.
