Marina Perez Simão Brings Quiet Abstract Paintings to Frieze London
Marina Perez Simão is showing 11 paintings at Frieze London. The works use blue, gray, and magenta tones to evoke an abstract season.
Marina Perez Simão’s presentation at Frieze London consists of 11 paintings, with blue, gray, and magenta tones shaping an abstract seasonal mood. The artist’s stated aim—encouraging meditation before the works—places the presentation within a broader art-fair setting where viewers encounter many displays. In that context, her quiet abstractions may invite a slower, more contemplative encounter with contemporary painting.
The presentation could affect Frieze London visitors, collectors, and curators by offering a quieter counterpoint to busier fair displays. Viewers may be encouraged to slow down and reflect, potentially shifting how some approach abstract painting. For artists working in subdued abstraction, this visibility may support further institutional and market attention, though the actual impact will depend on audience response and broader art-world trends.
