Exhibition «Amazonía Contemporánea»

Until 6 April, Museo Lázaro Galdiano presents the largest collection of contemporary art from the Peruvian Amazon. The exhibition will bring together more than 80 works by 30 artists in the Pardo Bazán room, showing the evolution of Amazonian art.

Curators Christian Bendayan and Luis Pérez Oramas show for the first time that Amazonian art is not merely exotic, but an artistic tradition in its own right. The exhibition, based on the Hochschild Correa Collection, includes paintings, textiles, ceramics, masks and collages created by both Indigenous peoples and urban artists.

The Amazon is not only the largest river, but also the source of a unique culture in which mythology, nature and art converge. This exhibition is a rare opportunity to look into a world seldom seen on the international art scene.
