PortuguêsGabriela Godoi
1988, Vancouver
Gabriela Godoi is an artist based in São Paulo, SP. She graduated from the M.F.A. program at Emily Carr University of Art and Design in 2017 and holds a B.F.A from F.A.A.P. (São Paulo - Brazil). In past years, she’s been selected to participate in group shows such as the 44o Salão de Arte Contemporânea de Piracicaba and the 41o Salão de Arte Contemporânea Luiz Sacilotto. She has been an artist in residency at W139 (Amsterdam, 2012), Residência FAAP (São Paulo, 2019) and Residência PIvô (São Paulo, 2020). In the past years, she has taught classes at Emily Carr University of Art and Design in Vancouver, BC. Godoi works primarily with painting and the making of objects. Such modes of communication allow her to question, poke fun at, and play with issues of identity, intersubjective relations, the body, and sexuality. Working with representation and materials that reflect on what is abject to the body she is proposing a conversation with the binary boundaries of figure and ground, revealing and concealing, the Self and the Other.
