Title: Geraldo Leão
Description: The exhibition presents recent and unpublished works by artist Geraldo Leão, one of the most important names of contemporary Paraná art. The artist explains that he himself prepares the material used in his works, a mixture of acrylic resin and pigments. The process began 30 years ago, in a search for more fluidity and profitability, but ended up resulting in a calligraphy of its own. Curated by Agnaldo Farias, the exhibition also features six guest artists, all students of Leão: William Machado, Andréia Santos, Bruno Oliveira, Lilian Gassen, Tony Camargo, Lívia Piantavini and Willian Santos, who represent the different periods of more than 20 years as a teacher.  "As proof of the importance he attributes to his work as a teacher and of respect for his students, he suggested the inclusion of an anteroom with works by some of his former disciples.ʺ --Page 108.
