Description: "Odyssey Painting" presents the most recent works of Lenir de Miranda (Pedro Osório, RS, 1945), created between 2017 and 2019. Entitled "Ninguém - Eu - Migrante" (Nobody - Me  Migrant), the series continues the themes that the artist has been working on since the early 1980s, such as the character Odyssey /Ulysses, the mythical hero of Homer's "Odyssey" (8th century BC) which culminated in James Joyce's novel "Ulysses" (1922), a modern recreation of the myth. The new series of works expresses the ancient and contemporary problem of migration. For the artist, migrations have to do with subjective displacements, which engender new identities. Working for more than four decades, Lenir brings in her curriculum about 40 individual exhibitions and 120 collectives, in countries such as Germany, England, Italy, Mexico, Uruguay and Russia. The book has an essay by Icleia Cattani and chronology elaborated by Paula Ramos, besides reproducing several critical texts on the artist's poetics.
