Galerie Alex Serra is delighted to announce that artist Adriana Molder ( ) is now represented by the gallery.
Adriana Molder born in Lisbon, in 1975. She Lives and works in Lisbon.
Her large-scale pieces, usually in Indian ink on tracing paper, depict figures that oscillate between dreams, phantasmagoria and reality. The conceptual focal point of her work is the significance of the face as a symbol in contemporary imagery. She has produced several series of portraits inspired by iconic figures in popular culture, cinema, and art history, always with a strong connection to literature.
Molder’s drawings and paintings create an instant feeling of familiarity between the viewer and her work, making it both relevant and accessible.
As we look at the entirety of her oeuvre, we are faced with a gallery of figures which combine elements of portraitist fidelity with fictional or narrative inventiveness, while over the whole hangs something we will call an atmospheric quality, to avoid calling it an aura. An atmosphere that turns representation into memory, where the separation between picture and viewer becomes irreversible, leading to the inevitability of the almost soft passing of a shadow of death.
Adriana Molder has exhibited her work in Portugal and abroad since 2002. Her work is represented in several private and public collections, in Portugal and abroad, including Novo Banco, António Cachola Collection, Berardo Collection, Fundação EDP Collection, Union Fenosa, Lisbon City Council and Kupferstichkabinett - Staatliche Museen zu Berlin.
