Amadeo Luciano Lorenzato
David Zwirner is pleased to present an exhibition of paintings by Brazilian artist Amadeo Luciano Lorenzato (1900–1995), on view at the gallery’s East 69th Street location in New York. Marking Lorenzato’s second solo exhibition with the gallery and the second solo presentation of the artist’s work in the United States, this exhibition will coincide with his inclusion in the 60th Venice Biennale, organized by curator Adriano Pedrosa (April 20–November 24, 2024).
Among the foremost Brazilian artists of his generation, Lorenzato developed a singular body of paintings centered on his fastidious observations of the everyday subjects he encountered in his hometown of Belo Horizonte—including favelas, semi-urban landscapes, and scenes of agriculture and rural industry.
