Press release

Almine Rech London is pleased to present 'Autodidact', a group show with works by Amadeo Luciano Lorenzato, Heitor dos Prazeres, Chico da Silva and Rubem Valentim, on view from January 16 to February 22, 2025.

Trained outside of conventional artistic structures, the self-taught artist exercises a unique freedom. These artists challenge accepted ideas and traditions regarding the role of the creator and the contexts in which talent can flourish. The result is art with a distinct point of view and a singular aesthetic. Each of the four artists presented at Almine Rech London followed a different path that led them to create. Their work is a testament to the idiosyncratic power and cultural influence of the autodidact.
