Gotas transparentes [Transparent Drops]

Leda Catunda participated in Geração 80, an artist group that sought to reevaluate the boundaries of painting and sculpture. Catunda’s “drops,” a recurring element in her art, are made with heavy plastic sheeting sewn on top of shaped and painted canvas. She states, “I am interested in images that are already in the world, with which I can interfere. And that is directly linked to the idea of appropriation of pictures and objects, or the meanings of the things that I bring to the work, are constantly changing, transforming themselves, varying all the time.”
