Adriana MINOLITI

Born 1980 in Buenos Aires, Argentina
Based in Buenos Aires, Argentina

Combining elements of architecture, design and visual arts, Minoliti's works disclose a political and historiographic dialogue between eroticism and abstraction. Informed by queer and feminist theories, the artist's paintings and installations play with gender pictorially, mixing spiritual values and aesthetics appreciations. The human body and geometric figures alike are charged with porn-erotic desires. Her works have been exhibited at the 10th Mercosul Biennial, Porto Alegre (Brazil), the Museum of Contemporary Art, Montreal (Canada), and the Brooklyn Museum, New York (USA). Minoliti is the co-founder of the PintorAs (Female Painters), a project that includes 20 women painters from Argentina.
