Curated by Marcelo Cidade, this exhibition reflects on Brazil's current landscape through the work of four young São Paulo artists, whose practices originate from the illegal graffiti scene. Their art highlights the creative vitality of public spaces in shaping unique urban-inspired languages. Raised in the dense, chaotic environment of São Paulo, these artists express social and political consciousness through conceptual, rather than purely aesthetic, art.
The exhibition showcases Coxas' subversive pop sculptures, Kaur's geometry-defying paintings, Sosek's pichação-influenced drawings, and Thiago Nevs' vernacular typography and politically charged sculptures. Together, their work symbolizes São Paulo's thriving street creativity and Brazil's desired transformation.
