José Pedro Croft - Reflexos, Enclaves, Desvios

José Pedro Croft is presenting his latest solo exhibition titled Reflexos, Enclaves, Desvios in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, until the 17th of November 2025. Curated by Luiz Camillo Osorio, this exhibition, held at the Centro Cultural Banco do Brasil, offers an immersive articulation of the different techniques of Croft's practice in 170 artworks: drawings, engravings, sculptures and installations. 


José has been experimenting with engraving techniques since the 1990s - this exhibition has a strong selection of works with different scales and cutouts. His dedication to this craft is also confirmed by the exhibited drawings that repurpose the engraving proofs, allowing an insight into the process. 


The Galeria Nuno Centeno’s represented artist states that: 


Engraving is a work of great physical science and craftsmanship, with great rigour and dedication. It's not secondary. For me, it anchors my work. There are things I've done in printmaking that will provide solutions for my sculpture work. - José Pedro Croft 


At the CCBB, it is possible to see six different sculptures, which mainly use iron, glass and mirrors – four of them are new, designed specifically for the architectural particularities of the space. These works offer a meditation about the tensions with colour, lines, overlays and instability, key elements known in Crofts’ work. 


The exhibition is running at Centro Cultural Banco do Brasil from Wednesdays to Mondays (Tuesday is closed), 9am to 8pm. Even though the entrance is free, tickets still need to be held to access it.
