About the artist

Lygia Pape A seminal figure in the Neo-Concrete movement and a key proponent of the preceding Concrete movement, the pioneering practice of Brazilian artist Lygia Pape (1927–2004) was instrumental in the emergence of contemporary art in Brazil from the mid-20th-century. Pape’s multidisciplinary practice ranged from painting, printmaking and sculpture to installation, film and performance. Her approach to each of these visual languages is rooted in experimentation, in order to challenge the prevailing artistic, cultural and political paradigms and redefine the dynamics of artistic engagement.
