Art Brussels

The Solo Prize was awarded to Paulo Nimer Pjota,  represented by Mendes Wood DM.
The jury was impressed by the way in which the artist brings together diverse visual references – from art history, the decorative arts and popular culture – in a visually coherent and playful whole. Seemingly effortlessly, and avoiding all didacticism, the paintings coalesce a range of sources without hierarchy. They embrace visual pleasure, skillfully playing with different aesthetic categories.

The Solo Prize is supported by TheMerode.
