Amelia Toledo and Cristina Canale: On the Nature of Figures brings together two Brazilian artists across generations around a shared investigation of form as process. Toledo — a central figure in 20th-century Brazilian art in dialogue with Lygia Clark and Lygia Pape — displaced constructive tradition by incorporating natural materials and organic processes, reconfiguring abstraction as sensorial experience. Canale's paintings build dense chromatic fields in which figures emerge and dissolve within magmatic and oceanic atmospheres, figure and ground perpetually unstable. In both practices, form presents itself as a field in transformation where the forces that constitute it become visible.
