Exhibition
Ernesto Neto - Hayward Gallery
Ernesto Neto, Brazil's leading contemporary artist, presents his new works. Neto transforms the upper galleries and outdoor sculpture terraces with a new site-specific commission and a number of new sculptural works.
While Neto has never explicitly sought to replicate the architect’s visual vocabulary, his aversion for the straight and direct surely speaks to this legacy – at least as much as it also recalls the meandering rivers and valleys of Rio itself. As if to confirm this willing obliqueness, stencilled over the front interior stairs of Neto’s studio, like a Samba-influenced coat of arms, is the slogan ‘less sexy, more sensual’.
Look out for Ernesto Neto’s exhibition at the re-opening of the Hayward Gallery this June.
