Marina Perez Sim茫o
Pace is pleased to present coinciding exhibitions of work by artists Marina Perez Sim茫o and Tomie Ohtake in Tokyo this fall. On view November 4, 2025, through February 11, 2026, these presentations, installed across the first and second floors of Pace鈥檚 Azabudai Hills gallery, will situate new paintings by Sim茫o in dialogue with works produced by Ohtake鈥攁 Japanese-Brazilian artist whose inventive abstractions charted new courses for Modernism in Brazil鈥攂etween 1963 and 2013. Both exhibitions will be on view during Art Week Tokyo 2025, which runs from November 5 to 9.
For her debut solo exhibition in Japan, Sim茫o鈥攁 Brazilian artist renowned for her work in oil painting, watercolor, and printmaking鈥攚ill unveil a new series of landscape-inspired pieces. Her vibrant, lyrical compositions blur the lines between interior and exterior worlds, guiding viewers through semi-abstract realms filled with organic, flowing forms. Her work reflects a deep engagement with emotion, memory, and place, rendered through a distinctly personal visual language. As part of her process, Sim茫o begins with drawing and watercolor, forging her compositions on canvas after her initial iterations of ideas and forms in these other mediums. Citing Ohtake as a key influence on her practice, she is presenting a solo exhibition at the Instituto Tomie Ohtake in S茫o Paulo through October 19.
The paintings that Sim茫o will show at Pace Tokyo speak to her deep and enduring interest in abstraction鈥檚 power to convey ideas, concepts, and feelings that transcend language. With these canvases created in 2024 and 2025, the artist has experimented with vertical and horizontal formats to propose new ways of reading space. Defying conventions of landscape painting, she often incorporates multiple horizons in her otherworldly, atmospheric compositions.
Sim茫o鈥檚 new works are chromatically linked by her use of indigo鈥攁n ode to the centuries-old tradition of indigo production in Japan鈥攁s well as shades of red and pink. Always unfolding her practice in different directions with each body of work, she has also imbued these dynamic paintings, through palette and gesture, with cosmic luminosity and rhythmic motion. Rendered at multiple scales, Sim茫o鈥檚 latest compositions are rife with mystery, and they propose new ways of viewing and experiencing landscape.
