Adriano Amaral is the first monographic publication dedicated to the work of the Brazilian artist Adriano Amaral (Ribeirão Preto, 1982). Spanning his most significant works from 2017 to 2025, the book features newly commissioned essays by Germano Dushá, Margot Norton, and Tamar Clarke-Brown, alongside an in-depth interview conducted by Sarah Johanna Theurer. More than a retrospective survey, the book is conceived as an extension of Amaral’s artistic method—an object that carries the same atmospheric charge and energetic density as his installations. Beyond documentation, it seeks to synthesize the core pursuits, concepts, and visualities that have defined the artist’s practice over the past 15 years. Drawing on materials and procedures from varied contexts, Amaral creates uncanny objects and systems using industrial equipment and medical supplies, as well as animal, vegetable, and mineral residues. These neoteric elements often blur the boundaries between the organic and the synthetic, between states of matter, and between processes of formation and decay. Navigating a delicate balance made of free intuition and laboratory techniques, his work unfolds as a series of complex experiments into the physical and spiritual properties of the things that compose the world—and the human journey within it.
