De Almeida has been working as an artist since he graduated from São Paulo's Armando Alvares Penteado Foundation, Brazil's top art school, in.

Brazilian artist Caetano de Almeida lets colors call to colors, and shapes to shapes, as he works his way across the painting.

The São Paulo based painter has exhibited in Latin America, Europe, and the US for over two decades, and this show marks his first exhibition in New York in.

Caetano de Almeida's eleventh solo exhibition at Luisa Strina is marked by new directions, the most obvious one being the renouncement of mathematical.

Caetano de Almeida's last compositions are optically charged, chromatic and frequently characterized by patterns made of circular cutouts and holes. The works' overall geometric structure hints at the rich history of brazilian geometric and Neo-concrete art.

However, it is de Almeida's intuitive use of colour that provides a unique sense of dynamism all his own.
