Untitled Art opened its inaugural Houston edition on, September 18. For the occasion, CARVALHO presented a 4-artist exhibition with Diana Orving (Stockholm), Brian Rattiner (New York), Rosalind Tallmadge (New York), and Maximilian Rödel (Berlin).
CARVALHO’s presentation centers on the sensation of weightlessness. Swedish textile artist Diana Orving’s semi-transparent organism floats from the trusses—sewn from abacá fiber and silk organza dyed in varying shades of blue—and hovers cloud-like at the entrance. American painter Brian Rattiner’s memory-scapes absorb the light, terrain, sounds, and sensations of his travels; in his most expansive works, evocations of landscape are unmoored from spatial limitations, and any sense of gravity is counterbalanced by a hypnotic feeling of floating. New York–based artist Rosalind Tallmadge meticulously shaves natural crystals such as lepidolite and selenite, applying them atop silk to conjure compositions that shimmer without anchoring. Maximilian Rödel's paintings open to vast, interlaced spaces where light and feeling move freely. Together, these works dissolve gravity's hold, tracing the thresholds between earth and aether, presence and atmosphere.
