Ernesto Neto

Artist

Ernesto Neto is a Brazilian artist who has produced an influential body of work that explores constructions of social space and the natural world by inviting physical interaction and sensory experience.

Drawing from biomorphism and minimalist sculpture, along with Neo-Concretism, tropicalism and other Brazilian vanguard movements of the 1960s and ‘70s, he references and incorporates gravity, organic shapes and materials, and spices that engage all five senses.
