NOW REPRESENTING SOPHIA LOEB

Loeb takes a sculptural approach to paint, building immersive fields of color through gestural brushstrokes, oil stick marks, and hand-applied pigments. Layers are then scraped, reworked, and reapplied to achieve a dense, tactile surface. Guided equally by material and intuition, Loeb works on her paintings from all angles, shifting and rotating her canvases as she builds her compositions, recording her own bodily involvement in the process. Landscapes reminiscent of those encountered in her native Brazil emerge from, and recede into, a forest of marks. Lending themselves to an experiential response, Loeb’s works seek to forge a deeper connection between our interior lives, fleeting thoughts and emotions, and the increasingly fragile environment that we live in.

Her work is held in the permanent collections of the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, Texas; Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami; Green Family, Dallas; Olivia Foundation, Mexico City; and Pond Society, Shanghai, among others. In 2025, Loeb’s work was included in the exhibitions At the Limits of Form, Museu Inimá de Paula, Belo Horizonte, Brazil; and Abstraction (re)creation - 20 under 40, X Museum, Beijing, travelled from Le Consortium, Dijon, 2024; and Wings of a Butterfly, Ingleby, Edinburgh.

Loeb graduated from Goldsmith’s University, London, in 2020 and received her Masters in painting from the Royal College of Art, London, in 2023. She now lives between London and São Paulo.
