Overview

Feliciano Centurión, José Leonilson and Matheus Chiaratti

We are pleased to announce a group exhibition featuring Feliciano Centurión (1962 – 1996), José Leonilson (1957 – 1993) and Matheus Chiaratti (b. 1988), produced in collaboration with Gisela Projects. New works by Chiaratti construct a dialogue with Centurión and Leonilson, two artists who gave soft and poetic form to queer identity in Latin America in the 1980s-90s. An imaginary friendship between these artists from two different generations, who never crossed paths, is articulated by Chiaratti through letter writing, visual references and a shared artistic sensibility centred around love, passion and intimacy.
