Leda Catunda's 'Geography' Got Reviewed in @Hyperallergic!
"Since the 1980s, the artist, celebrated in her native Brazil yet lesser known in the United States, has been practicing a kind of painter’s erasure poetry upon various textiles and assembling the results into evocative, semi-sculptural configurations. You can see evidence of that process in “Cordilheira (Mountain Range)” (2022), a group of 17 irregularly shaped panels, each about the size of a boogie board, whose colorful paintings trace or erase mashed-up pop cultural iconography, from the logo on a Rolling Stones t-shirt to the lettering on a Santos Football Club pennant. The craggy panels hang on the wall in a way that suggests a metaphorical mountain range but they’re also an artistic archeological record of contemporary material culture," writes Louis Bury in his recent review of @LedaCatunda's now closed solo-exhibition 'Geography.'
