About the artist

Leda Catunda was born and currently lives in São Paulo, Brazil. Her inclusion in Como Vai Você?, Geração 80, a watershed group show at Parque Lage Visual Art School in Rio de Janeiro in 1984, cemented Catunda’s pivotal position in Brazilian contemporary art and ushered in a revitalization in painting. She has participated in four São Paulo Biennials (1983, 1985, 1994, and 2018). Retrospectives and surveys of her work have also been held at Pinoteca do Estado de São Paulo (2009); Museu Oscar Niemeyer, Rio de Janeiro, and Museo de Arte Moderna (MAM Rio), Rio de Janeiro (2014); Instituto Tomie Ohtake, São Paulo (2016); São Paulo Museum of Modern Art (MAM), São Paulo (2019), and the Museu de Arte Latino Americano de Buenos Aires (MALBA), Buenos Aires (2021). In 2023, she will have a solo exhibition at the ICA Milano, Italy. Catunda is also represented by Fortes D'Aloia & Gabriel in São Paulo, Brazil.
