Coming soon: Mundo Mágico

This summer, you'll discover a magical world at Kunsthal KAdE during your visit to the new exhibition Mundo Mágico. It is a tribute to the gallery's program, which captures the imagination Mendes Wood DM in São Paulo, as seen through the lens of twelve of its artists. They depict a world in which reality takes on a slight twist, making the experience ‘magical.’ A world with a soul.

Recurring themes include landscape, identity, memory, and mythology, approached from a personal, critical, and sometimes spiritual perspective. A central place is reserved for Amadeo Luciano Lorenzato (1900–1995). His vision of the landscape is very specific: realistic, naïve, and evocative all at once, somewhat detached, so that it is never a factual depiction.
