Exploring the Rich Diversity of Brazilian Art with Rotas Brasileiras
São Paulo recently hosted the Rotas Brasileiras art fair, showcasing the best established and emerging talent from Brazil’s 15 states. The fair, in its third edition, features works by around 250 artists from 66 exhibitors. The new Mirante sector presents large-scale and rarely exhibited works by 16 artists, including a six-meter piece by Tunga.
According to the fair’s artistic director, Rotas Brasileiras is essential for anyone interested in Brazilian art. The event aims to explore different routes of art, offering routes of affection, borders, and connection. It highlights the diverse identities and cultural production of Brazil, celebrating the country’s complex history.
The fair encourages closer contact between the public and the displayed works, providing a unique opportunity for collectors to engage with artists and gallerists. It also gives smaller galleries a platform to champion relatively unknown Brazilian artists. Rotas Brasileiras complements the larger, more globally focused SP-Arte fair by providing a more localized and intimate experience for visitors.
With its emphasis on diversity and deep engagement, Rotas Brasileiras stands out from other art fairs, offering a fresh and unique perspective on Brazilian art.
