Amelia Toledo, renowned artist whose work is the subject of the exhibition "Amelia Toledo: Paisagem Cromática" at MuBE, curated by Fernando Limberger, had her work revisited and reimagined in this edition, created especially for the exhibition.
The edition, produced in 2024, is the result of an encounter between Amelia's studies begun 20 years ago, found in the artist's archives by the curator and incorporated into her contemporary vision, in collaboration with Carbono.
Toledo delves into deep research, where rocks and minerals are explored as central elements. Using digital techniques to scan and manipulate these materials, his creations transcend mere visual representation.
She invites the viewer to contemplate landscapes in unexpected places, whether in everyday objects or in fragments of nature, transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary.
Biography
Amelia Toledo
Amelia Toledo began her art studies in the late 1930s, when she attended Anita Malfatti's studio. In the following decade, she studied with Yoshiya Takaoka and Waldemar da Costa. In 1948, she began working as a project designer in the office of architect Vilanova Artigas. This contact with key figures in Brazilian modern art, as well as her experience in her father's pathological anatomy laboratory, enabled her to develop a multifaceted work that uses various languages such as sculpture, painting and engraving. This production also flourished in the company of other artists of her generation, such as Mira Schendel, Tomie Ohtake, Hélio Oiticica and Lygia Pape.
Amelia Toledo's diverse media reveal a spirit focused on an expanded investigation of artistic possibilities. From the 1970s onwards, the artist's production went beyond the constructive grammar, which made use of regular geometric elements and curves, and began to focus on natural forms. Toledo began collecting materials such as shells and stones, and the landscape became a fundamental theme in her practice. The artist's paintings, on the other hand, have monochromatic tendencies, revealing her interest in researching color.
She has participated in several exhibitions in Brazil and abroad. Her solo shows include: Amelia Toledo – I Remembered That I Forgot , at the Banco do Brasil Cultural Center (CCBB-SP) (2017), in São Paulo, Brazil; Amelia Toledo , at the Estação Pinacoteca (2009), in São Paulo, Brazil; Novo olhar , at the Oscar Niemeyer Museum (2007), in Curitiba, Brazil; and Viagem ao coração da matéria , at the Tomie Ohtake Institute (2004), in São Paulo, Brazil. Recent group shows include: Ways of Seeing Brazil: Itaú Cultural 30 Years , at Oca (2017), in São Paulo, Brazil; 30x Bienal: Transformations in Brazilian Art from the 1st to the 30th Edition , at the São Paulo Biennial Foundation (2013), in São Paulo, Brazil; A Point of Irony , at the Vera Chaves Barcellos Foundation (2011), in Viamão, Brazil; and Brasiliana MASP: Contemporary Modern , at the São Paulo Museum of Art (MASP) (2006), in São Paulo, Brazil; in addition to the 29th São Paulo Biennial, São Paulo, Brazil (2010); 10th Mercosul Biennial, Porto Alegre, Brazil (2015). His works are featured in important institutional collections such as: Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, Lisbon, Portugal; Itaú Cultural Institute, São Paulo, Brazil; São Paulo Museum of Modern Art (MAM-SP), São Paulo, Brazil; São Paulo Museum of Art (MASP), São Paulo, Brazil; and Pinacoteca of the State of São Paulo, São Paulo, Brazil; among others.
