Sophia Loeb creates paintings that immerse viewers in vibrant, tactile visual fields. Her work emphasizes sensorial experience, using striking contrasts and dynamic color to create depth, rhythm, and impact. The artist’s process is dynamic and intuitive: canvases are rotated, tilted, and approached from multiple angles, while layers of liquid and powdered pigments, along with oil sticks, are applied, scraped, and reworked in constant dialogue with the surface. Guided by matter itself, each color is applied with gestural motions, implying the artist’s interest in bodily involvement. This awareness stems from her early work as a sculptor, a discipline from which she draws physicality and touch, leading to dense, voluminous compositions in which multiple layers are held in tension.

Loeb has held two solo exhibitions: Panta Rei sobre a Estrata, Fortes D’Aloia & Gabriel | Carpintaria, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (2025); and Todos os Seres são de Todos os Seres (All Beings are of All Beings), Pippy Houldsworth Gallery, London, United Kingdom (2023).

Notable group exhibitions in which she has participated include: ABERTO 04, Paris, France (2025); At the Limits of Form, Museu Inimá de Paula, Belo Horizonte, Brazil (2025); Daffodils Baptized in Butter, The Arts Club, London, United Kingdom (2024); Alchemists, Pond Society, Shanghai, China (2024); ABERTO 03, São Paulo, Brazil (2024); Abstraction (re)creation – 20 under 40, Le Consortium, Dijon, France (2024); Between Us, Olivia Foundation, Mexico City, Mexico (2024); Les danses nocturnes, Spread Museum, Entrevaux, France (2023); and So Show, Art Lab, São Paulo, Brazil (2022), among others.
