Alex Červený (1963, São Paulo, Brazil), opens Mirabilia, his new survey show at Pina Estação, in São Paulo. Curated by Renato Menezes.

It is the first exhibition to bring together over 40 years of the artist's output, presenting a panorama of his career. It features drawings, engravings and paintings, including two commissioned by the museum for the occasion.

As the show's curator states, "In Alex Červený’s work, fantasy is affirmed not only as an aesthetic category, but also as the ethos of an attentive and solitary traveler: in loneliness, a universal feeling, all people are brought together and identified.[...] Piercing through all layers of reality, the thickness of which will have to be newly negotiated by the spectator,4 fantasy draws anew the borders between oddity and playfulness, between enchantment and awe, and reestablishes a universal order founded on the certainties of the spirit, intuition, and the senses."

The show will be on display until March 10, 2024.
