KOWKOW is pleased to present the first solo exhibition of Hudinilson Jr. Hudinilson Jr. (São Paulo, Brazil) is one of the most influential yet underground figures in Latin American art since the late 1970s and 1980s. Through his captivating oeuvre of performances, artist books, extensive Xerox assemblages, and sculptures, the artist operates at the intersection of the intimate and the public sphere. Hudinilson Jr.'s artworks explore representations of bodies, including his own, making visible both self-perception and external observation. His work presents experimental forms of 'seeing' oneself and others. Desire, intimacy, and sexually charged modes of observation become tangible. Today, Hudinilson Jr. is being re-evaluated as a pioneer of conceptual and activist art that captures and documents queer gazes and bodies, situating them not only in the personal but also in the public space. KOW considers itself fortunate to represent the estate of the artist from São Paulo, together with Martins & Montero. Hudinilson Jr. (b. 1957, São Paulo, Brazil) passed away in 2013.
