LAST CHANCE Leda Catunda: I like to like what others are liking

The most comprehensive solo exhibition to date of Brazilian artist Leda Catunda outside her home country. Sharjah Art Foundation is presenting four decades of Catunda’s practice, tracing the transformation of her art from figurative painting to hybrid forms that explore materiality, abstraction and dimensionality; her works typically explore the limits of textures and materials, exemplifed by her ‘soft paintings’ over materials like toweling, bedclothes, leather, velvet and silk. But the scope is broad: from large-scale installations to elemental watercolours, each piece embodies a sensuous negotiation between the handmade and the mass-produced, offering a whimsical critique of pop culture and consumerism.
