“When Adriano Pedrosa was declared as the curator of the 2024 Venice Biennale, my first thought and hope was that the art earth and art sector will pay a lot more interest to indigenous artwork, artists, and galleries from Brazil and Latin and South The usa general.
I believe that has previously started and will take place even extra so in 2023. As we move away from an overdose of figuration, we will see a lot more fascination in abstraction and artists discovering the figure through abstraction and motion, like Sarah Awad, France-Lise McGurn, and Jonathan Lyndon Chase.”
