Born in 1983 in Goiânia, Brazil
Lives and works in New Haven, USA
Gabriela Rassi was born and raised in Goiânia, Brazil in a family of Arab immigrants. She holds a BFA from Rhode Island School of Design (2020). Prior to art school she toured nationally and internationally as a musician and as a member of the DIY music scene in New York City. She has an expansive practice that includes painting, performance, projection, video, and sound. She layers materials and mediums in order to abstract information and thus generate new meaning. There is no meaning without contradiction, ambiguity or tension. Interested in the emotional processing, mutation, and dissipation, she implicates the viewer by allowing space for their own subjectivity. In January 2023, her work was shown at Thierry Goldberg in New York City and she is preparing for shows in New York and Beijing this summer.
