EDUARDO BERLINER: THE ARTIST NOMINATED FOR THE EFG LATIN AMERICAN AWARD AT SP ARTE 2024
The EFG Latin America Art Award, in association with ArtNexus, announced Eduardo Berliner of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, as the nominated artist for its annual acquisition award. The award will be presented at Pinta Miami 2024.
Eduardo Berliner, represented by Casa Triângulo, São Paulo, Brazil, is one of the most important Brazilian painters of his generation. In his canvases, landscape, architecture, cultural residues and human relationships are transformed through small or large deviations. In this way, what might at first glance appear to be personal narratives and real memories become dreamlike or threatening dinners, fragments of stories whose beginning and end we know neither the beginning nor the end. Coherently with these premises, and as we see in Folhagem (2021), children are recurring characters in his paintings, depositaries of an innocence at the same time fragile and powerful.
The work was selected at the SP Arte fair with the collaboration of Jacopo Crivelli Visconti, independent curator, together with Celia Sredni de Birbragher, director and editor of ArtNexus.
The EFG Latin America Art Award, now in its fourteenth edition, was created to support the production of Latin American artists. The process consists in pre-selecting the work of artists through a jury at contemporary art fairs in Latin America throughout each year. The award aims to promote the continent's visual arts production and regional fairs among collectors from around the world.
This year the fairs where the pre-selection will be made are: SP Arte, São Paulo; PArC, Lima; arteba, Buenos Aires; Ch.ACO, Santiago de Chile and ArtBo, Bogota.
As in previous years, once the nominees have been selected at the participating Latin American art fairs, the acquisition will be announced at Pinta Miami during the week of Art Basel. EFG Capital will acquire a representative artwork by the winning artist. The entire EFG Latin America Art Award collection is on permanent display at EFG Capital's Miami office.

BETWEEN RETROTOPIAS, DRIFTS AND STILL LIFES – CAO FEI – THE FUTURE IS NOT A DREAM
Until this April 2024, one of the recent galleries of the Pinacoteca Contemporânea - the new annex of the traditional and active Pinacoteca do Estado de São Paulo, which opened in 2023 - has become a special locus, where past and future, tradition and modernity, nostalgia and dazzle, fortress and ruin, among other poetic axes, present themselves to a visitor who is between perplexity and fascination. The author of this suspension of time is the Chinese artist Cao Fei (Guanghzou, 1978), one of the key artists of the contemporary world, who has her first solo show in South America, after (more discreet) appearances at the 29th São Paulo Biennial (2010) and the 9th Mercosul Biennial (2013), in Porto Alegre, in the south of the country.
