Nara Roesler Rio de Janeiro is pleased to present The Intimacy of Light, a solo exhibition by artist Karin Lambrecht, featuring a curatorial text by Fernanda Lopes. The show brings together 24 previously unseen works by the artist, including paintings and watercolors on paper, all part of her recent production created throughout 2024 and 2025.
Lambrecht’s recent production reflects the transformations that have occurred in her practice since her move from Porto Alegre to Broadstairs, on the Isle of Thanet, in southeastern England. The expansive fields of color that cover her canvases evoke impressions and sensations inspired by the local landscape and its famed light. In the works featured in The Intimacy of Light, the artist describes a greater “lightness” in both treatment and pictorial construction. This “more optimistic” approach, as she describes it, stems from her current life stage. The proximity to the sea and a constant practice of observing nature have made the work more contemplative, and, in her view, distanced from the apocalyptic tone so present in the contemporary world.
