The Influence of Brazilian Neo-Concretism on Contemporary Art

Brazilian Neo-Concretism, which emerged in the late 1950s, continues to exert a decisive influence on contemporary artistic production. Artists such as Lygia Clark, Hélio Oiticica, and Lygia Pape transformed the relationship between body, space, and artwork, proposing sensory and participatory experiences.

In contemporary art, this legacy manifests itself in immersive installations, interactive works, and projects that invite the viewer to activate the meaning of the work. Many contemporary Brazilian and Latin American artists reinterpret these principles from technological, digital, and performative perspectives.

The Neo-Concrete emphasis on affective experience, subjectivity, and collective participation resonates in community curatorial practices, urban interventions, and multisensory works.

Furthermore, the movement anticipated current debates on the dematerialization of art, the importance of the body, and the critique of geometric rationalism.

Its legacy remains alive as one of Brazil's richest contributions to global art. Latamarte
