We are pleased to announce Richard Aldrich’s first exhibition in Brazil, opening on February 7 at auroras.

Over the past two decades, the New York–based artist has been a central figure in debates surrounding the expanded field of painting, and his work has been closely followed by many Brazilian painters. His solo exhibition at auroras — presenting nine recent works in different formats — offers the Brazilian public its first opportunity to engage directly with his production and with the material intelligence of his practice.

Aldrich’s paintings move between abstraction and figuration, combining gestures, found images, and pictorial decisions that challenge conventional hierarchies within contemporary painting. His practice resists a fixed stylistic identity, proposing painting as an open system that absorbs influences from music, poetry, everyday life, and art history, without resolving them into a stable language.
