Exhibitions: Ismael Nery: Modern Trap

The exhibition 'Ismael Nery: modern trap' at Edifício Pina Luz investigates the work of Ismael Nery (1900–1934), a pivotal and unsettling artist of Brazilian modernism. Nery explored themes of identity, gender fluidity, and the transcendence of space and time through his unique blend of cubism and surrealism. The show features approximately 230 works, including paintings, drawings, and sensual, often androgynous, human figures. It offers a comprehensive review of Nery's artistic contradictions, theoretical depth, and radical inventions.
