Gold and happiness, by Leda Catunda. With the collaboration of Francisco Lemus

 

Leda Catunda is a Brazilian painter, sculptor, educator and graphic artist. Since the 1980s, she has built a visual lexicon that transitions between mass culture and crafts, using both abstract painting and sculpture as well as the operations of collage and appropriation of pop art. Taking advantage of the voracity of images of our time, the artist creates haptic works: padded, fitted and sewn on domestic materials, turning the support into the content itself. Her insistence on her manual work does not fail to suggest an intimate dimension, alluding to a family and personal atmosphere. With the means at her disposal and without hiding the vestiges of the process, her “soft world” suggests an interrogation about the affirmation of identity through consumption, reworking textile waste and the mechanisms of commercial culture. .

Francisco Lemus is Head of the Curatorship Department of the Museum of Modern Art of Buenos Aires. He is an art historian from the National University of La Plata, a doctor in Comparative Theory of Arts from the National University of Tres de Febrero and a Master's in Curatorship in Visual Arts from the same university.
