Sarah Morris - Bye Bye Brazil - White Cube 2013

Morris describes her paintings and filmmaking – parallel activities within her practice – as a way of investigating, tracing and playing with ‘urban, social and bureaucratic typologies’. In the new series of ‘Rio’ paintings, Morris both expands and reduces her abstract compositions, utilising dynamic new forms and colours that act like collective after- images or codes. Drawing inspiration from a wide range of sources – the work of Roberto Burle Marx, Lina Bo Bardi, Oscar Niemeyer, lunar cycles, fruit and even Bossa Nova album covers – her canvases are made up of vivid compositions whose curves, vectors and interlocking spheres reference a way of perception as well as the sharp contrasts of Rio’s many social forms.
