Artist: Márcia Falcão

Alexander Gray Associates announces representation of Márcia Falcão (b. 1985). In Spring 2028, the Gallery will present a solo exhibition of Falcão’s works.

Falcão explores the Black female body as a site where painterly experimentation and lived experience converge. Raised in Rio de Janeiro’s Irajá neighborhood, Falcão renders her figures in gestural brushwork and dense layers of impasto, working within a palette dominated by earth tones—umbers, reds, tans, and yellows. Though Falcão frequently depicts her own body, her figures resist self-portraiture, functioning instead as archetypes that challenge the expectations and stereotypes imposed upon Black Brazilian women.
