Press Release
Caetano de Almeida’s painting interweaves the sign, the body and its absence, slowness, the
investment of desire, the accumulation of capital, working conditions, and waiting.
Paulo Herkenhoff
Galeria Luisa Strina presents Caetano de Almeida’s solo exhibition, from 5 April until 21 May 2016.
After four years without exhibiting his works in São Paulo, the artist brings one drawing and new
paintings. The paintings, constructed from lines, continue the artist’s study into webs, patterns and
history. His compositions are often optically loaded, chromatic and frequently characterized by
patterns formed by circular cut-outs and holes. The geometric structure of the works points to the
rich history of geometric art. However, it is Caetano’s intuitive use of color that adds a unique
sensation of his own dynamism.
