Yiftah Peled: 35 Years of Walking Art at Galeria OÁ, Vitória
Galeria OÁ in Vitória, Espírito Santo, is showcasing "Se Encruzilham os Destinos?", a retrospective celebrating Yiftah Peled's 35-year artistic journey. An Israeli native, Peled has resided in Brazil for the past 15 years. His creations blend environmental art with urban exploration, presenting six works from 2010 to 2026 that investigate the concept of line as tangible, symbolic, or imaginary. Key pieces include Sombras Brancas (2021), Fígaros (2026), Meridia/nós (2020–25), Encruzilhadas (2010–25), Linhas do Destino (2023), Quadrado/Gordura (2026), Metro/Gordura (2021), and Cubo/Gordura (2010–20). This exhibition critiques the minimalism movement's neglect of the human body and is on display at Galeria OÁ, Vitória, ES.
