Press release and list of works from Amadeo Luciano Lorenzato show at David Zwirner Gallery, London. 10th January - 9th February 2019
Among the foremost Brazilian artists of his generation, Lorenzato( 1900–1995) developed a singular body of paintings centred on his fastidious observations of the everyday subjects he encountered in his hometown of Belo Horizonte, Brazil, including land- and townscapes, favelas, and the people he came across in his meandering walks through town. Using a rich palette of self-made pigments to describe his surroundings, Lorenzato’s distinct compositions are characterised by reduced geometric forms and richly textured surfaces that he achieved through the use of brushes, combs, and forks.
