For Frieze New York 2026, Fortes D’Aloia & Gabriel presents works by Luiz Zerbini, Frank Walter, Lucia Laguna, Valeska Soares, Wanda Pimentel, Erika Verzutti, Jesse Wine, Rodrigo Cass, Tadáskía, and Ana Cláudia Almeida. 

A dialogue between Zerbini’s and Walter’s paintings activates the presentation, revealing unexpected affinities across geographies and histories. Both artists approach landscape not as a fixed genre but as a field of perception, at once empirical and speculative, where observation becomes a means of constructing worlds. From there, the booth unfolds through multiple approaches to landscape and space, where distinct positions coexist without hierarchy.

Lucia Laguna develops a fractured, rhythmic vision in which urban and forest environments collapse into one another, while Valeska Soares constructs a horizon through reconfigured wooden boxes, assembling a terrain shaped by memory and spatial dislocation. In Wanda Pimentel, animals emerge as possible inhabitants of these environments, activating them as both graphic field and lived terrain. Erika Verzutti introduces a sculptural logic that oscillates between the organic and the mineral, suggesting forms that seem at once excavated and generative, as if part of an unfolding landscape. In the work of Ana Cláudia Almeida and Tadáskía, landscape becomes less a site than a condition approached through spiritual openness and material experimentation, where gesture, color, and surface articulate expansive, nonliteral terrains. Landscape turns inward in the work of Jesse Wine and Rodrigo Cass, who shift the focus from environment to the conditions of space itself—probing its relation to the body, perception, and duration. Across these positions, the booth traces a movement from landscape as image to space as experience, where external and internal dimensions continuously fold into one another.
