James Kudo was one of the first Brazilian artists I discovered when I arrived in São Paulo. He had a fantastic solo show called Oximoros at Zipper Galeria. Walking through the gallery’s first floor showroom I discovered Kudo’s collage style works that are a blend of nature, memories and imagination. The show is no longer on view in the gallery, but here is a little of what I saw.
