VÂNIA MIGNONE PAINTING PRODUCTION ARE SITUATED IN AN ENVIRONMENT OF DISCOMFORT AND RESTLESSNESS. IT’S INTRODUCED IN A SCENE VERY SIGNIFICANT TO THE HISTORY OF CONTEMPORARY ART: THE AUTONOMY OF DRAWING - AND HOW MUCH IT INVADES AND IS INCORPORATED INTO A VERY PARTICULAR STATE. VÂNIA PRODUCTIONS SUGGEST TO THE VIEWER AN EMOTIONAL STATE, A REFLECTION ON A MEMORY AND THE MARKS IT LEFT.

"The subjects of mignone's works comprise an unusual repertoire of reoccurring images that appear like members of a cast in an intimate theater play: women, birds, roads, mountains, cars, streetlamps. what unites them is an overriding sense of isolation and abandonment, of longing. the backdrops for these images are often (and increasingly) apocalyptic, as if the world were ending and the last humans were looking for love among the ruins."

"Text also plays a crucial role in Mignone’s work; almost every painting includes a word or short phrase which is never descriptive, but hugely evocative. These words serve almost as lyrics to the visual composition, bringing in references that are poetic and expansive. These statements are fully part of the work, integrated into the composition, and acting as inseparable elements in our visual reading of the overall work. The words are neither captions nor titles, but something in between, with a physical weight and atmospheric presence that makes them fully a part of the scene in which they live."

"you create it, you begin, but you don't know where it will go. i do not fully control where it will wind up, what size it will be, what image what colors it will have at the end. i do not have this idea, because it is being created there at the moment, i did not make any sketch, i did not make a plan, it is made there, right at that time, and inclueds all the mistakes, indecisions, corrections. It was green, then it became red, but you still have the remnants of green in the corners, so all of this creates a dense mass that i like. i do not know where the work is going, i have no idea. i have a notion of what is taking place, but i do not have the slightest idea about how that image will be finished."

"Pirassununga. Atibaia. Tupã. These are thE Tupi-Guarani names of towns that appear on road signs along the busy highway between São Paulo and Campinas, more precisely the Cidade Universitária where Vânia Mignone was born and lives. These words also apPear in a series of paitings that she made in 2015, in wich fragmentary images from her trips between these cities appear alongside the names of theses towns, together with more atmospheric words like "MADRUGADA" [DAWN] or "NEBLINA" [MIST]. The coexistence of the original ancient language of these locales with the contemporary banality of suburban São Paulo come together in these works to create magical juxtapositions in the eye of an artist finely tuned to detect the extraordinary in the everyday"
