Carmela Gross

[5] Notable pieces in this exhibition include Presunto ("Ham") and Barril ("Barrel"), which explored the urban landscape characterized by ambivalence between opacity and morbidity.

[9] The figures included those listed by Karl Marx in The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Napoleon such as people without ambition, decadent ruffians, con men, and pickpockets, among others.

[4] Early in her artistic career, she focused on productions exhibited in public spaces (e.g. Escada-Escola) and these often involved proposition of plastic activities for children as well as themes that explore education.

Gross's works have been chronicled by Ana Maria de Moraes Belluzzo, who elaborated on her response to the modern contradictions of art.

[2] Belluzo also cited the series of artworks called Quasares, which explored the dimensions that arise as consequences of recent industrialization and technology.
