Thais Ueda
São Paulo/SP, 1977. Lives and works in São Paulo/SP.
She graduated in Social Communication at ESPM and Industrial Design at Mackenzie. In 2003, she traveled to Japan and spent eight months in Toyama Prefecture as a graphic design scholar. Since then, Thais has worked as an illustrator and visual artist, focusing on drawing, engraving and urban intervention. She uses different techniques and has exhibited in Brazil and Japan. In his latest works, his research has placed great emphasis on the “blank” or undrawn areas of the paper. This apparent emptiness instigates by revealing itself as a space of power as well as suggesting an isolation between movement, human beings and objects. From this interval, the instant, the repetition, the faux pax appear in his work. The movement reveals an inherent awkwardness, a humor that echoes our own vulnerabilities, it is a metaphor for the quest of a man who experiences ongoing loss.
