Daniel Albuquerque: To Daddy

KUNSTHALLE São Paulo invites Brazilian artist Daniel Albuquerque to present the work To Daddy produced specially for the Vitrine. The artist practice develops mainly through drawing and sculpture, using techniques and materials such as ceramics, brass, embroidery and knitting. Usually autobiographical and intuitive, his works reflect on the sensations of the body and sexuality, seeking a release of drives. The works generates in the observer a tactile attraction, whether through the sexualization in the sculptures of intimate body parts, or through materials that relate directly to it. Read more soon.
