Alice Ricci
Bio
Alice Ricci (São Paulo, SP, Brazil, 1985). Her practice addresses the relationship between body, color, and architecture, unfolding across painting, objects, installations, and site-specific projects. She observes spaces—physical and digital—to examine how light and time reorganize perception.
In 2025 she takes part in the group show “Apoia & Tomba” (curated by Galciani Neves) at Objeto Particular, São Paulo, Brazil; presents her solo show “Equalizar os planos para visualizar o invisível” at CRUDO Arte Contemporáneo, Buenos Aires, Argentina; and “Wall-to-flow” (curated by Tálissom Melo) at Espaço 25M, São Paulo, Brazil. In the same year, she completes the “La Ira de Dios” artist residency in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
In 2023 she develops the site-specific work “Redesenho Suspenso no Espaço” within the Programa PONTE at Projeto Fidalga, São Paulo, Brazil. She also participates in the group show “Obra Xerox” (curated by Suyan de Mattos) at the Museu de Arte de Brasília (DF), Brazil. In parallel, she undertakes the “Residência Rogério Duarte,” by invitation of curator Josué Mattos, at Centro Cultural Veras, Florianópolis (SC), Brazil.
In 2022 she takes part in the group show “Habitat Serrinha” (curated by Fábio Delduque and Helena Huschel) at Parque Natural Arte Serrinha, Bragança Paulista, Brazil, and presents the solo show “Superfície Silenciosa das Formas” (curated by Rodriguez Remor) at OMA Galeria, São Paulo, Brazil. That same year she participates in “Comunidad en Lincoln: Residencia de arte contemporáneo y procesos sociales” (curated by Laura Khalloub, Paola Fabres, and Rodolfo Sala) at El Obrador, Buenos Aires, Argentina—an outcome of a residency she carried out in the Province of Buenos Aires in 2019.
In 2021 she completes residencies at “100 W Corsicana Artist & Writer Residency” (Corsicana, Texas, USA) and “Mirante Xique-Xique” (Igatu, Chapada Diamantina, BA), Brazil.
Statement
Her work centers on the observation of spaces—both physical and digital—to explore the visual and temporal effects of displacement. She constructs compositions that unfold across painting, drawing, objects, installations, and site-specific projects, developing formal devices that probe our relationship with space, time, and light.
In her paintings, planes of color are harmonized through subtle tonal transitions and overlaid with graphic structures that evoke an architecture in motion. In her installations and spatial interventions, Ricci approaches architecture as a large pictorial surface onto which she applies layers of paint in iridescent hues and reflective materials that visually reorganize the environment. Throughout her practice, she seeks to reconfigure perception and activate dialogues between body, color, surface, and place, fostering a sensory experience of pause, displacement, and a reinvention of the viewer’s gaze.
