Carlito Carvalhosa (1961-2021) forged a singular path in contemporary art, exploring a wide range of techniques and media, with an approach that expanded the boundaries of materials and space. Carlito Carvalhosa (Nara Roesler Books, 2025) represents the most comprehensive monograph ever dedicated to the artist. In addition to essays by Luis Pérez-Oramas, Lúcia K. Stumpf, Geaninne Gutiérrez-Guimarães, André Lepecki, Daniel Rangel and Bernardo Mosqueira, the book features an extensive illustrated chronology, highlighting the interplay between two-dimensional and three-dimensional works, large-scale installations, and recurring motifs that run throughout his practice.
To celebrate the book’s release, contributing authors André Lepecki, Geaninne Gutierrez-Guimarães, Luis Pérez-Oramas, and Lúcia K. Stumpf will gather for a conversation at Amant’s bookstore and café on the lasting impact and significance of Carvalhosa’s practice.
