Lo Leão’s debut international exhibition will take place at the Consulate General of Brazil in New York from April 11th to May 24th, 2024. Renowned for her meticulous wood embroidery technique, Lo Leão draws inspiration from Brazilian tile work, its origins, and the modernist movement. With a familial legacy steeped in manual craftsmanship, the artist has transformed the ancient art of embroidery into a innovative contemporary expression.
In her solo showcase in New York City, curated and executed by “Nomade Art Projects,” Lo Leão unveils over 100 pieces from her Azulejaria, Essência, Entrelinhas, and Bits collections. Through an array of artwork, objets, modules, and furniture, she invites viewers on a journey through the intricacies of her craft. Each piece encapsulates Lorena’s deep connection to Brazilian culture and her innovative approach to preserving its essence.
The exhibition also pays homage to the iconic tile work of the Pampulha Modern Ensemble in Belo Horizonte – Minas Gerais / Brazil, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, weaving a narrative that seamlessly intertwines tradition with modernity. As visitors explore the exhibition, they are transported to a place where heritage and innovation converge. Lorena’s showcase not only celebrates her artistic prowess but also serves as a testament to the cultural richness of Brazil within the artistic landscape of New York City.
There will be an opening ceremony on April 11th, from 6pm to 8pm.
The consulate of Brazil in New York is located at 225 E 41st Street, New York, NY
