OSGEMEOS, translated as “the twins” in Portuguese, is a collaborative art duo made up of twin brothers Gustavo and Otavio Pandolfo. Their signature long-limbed, yellow figures are recognized around the world and appear in numerous public murals across the globe.

In their native Brazil, OSGEMEOS’ traveling museum exhibition Nossos Segredos (Our Secrets) is currently on view at the Centro Cultural Banco do Brasil in Belo Horizonte through May 22.

Tom Friedman is a conceptual artist known for his meticulously fabricated work, including sculpture, painting, drawing, video, and installation. Friedman investigates the concepts of perception, logic, and plausibility with a strong attention to detail. Since the early 1990s, Friedman has utilized an array of sophisticated processes to achieve a seemingly mass-produced appearance. His highly conceptual work engages both maximalist and minimalist aesthetics, as well as recalling those of Pop Art, and his practice is deeply engaged with the history of sculpture.

Lee Bul is recognized as one of the most radical and internationally regarded figures in contemporary Korean art. Her Perdu series of mixed media paintings blends biomorphic and cybertronic forms, vividly yet delicately rendered in acrylic paint and mother of pearl.

In a 2022 interview, Lee Bul told The New York Times: “My works are complex structures. When I make them, I consciously and unconsciously employ different emotions. The end results are fairly beautiful-looking but are not necessarily just beautiful. There are always three, four or more conflicting elements within them.”

A new painting by New York-based artist Marilyn Minter, whose work offers nuanced representations of women and the treatment of the female body in popular media, will debut at the fair. Through her subversion of conventional and mainstream imagery around beauty and glamour, works like Quarantine (2020–21) expose the double standards that influence feminine identities and challenge the historic portrayal of women in media. Looking ahead, Minter will open a solo exhibition at Lehmann Maupin Seoul in November.

Kader Attia grew up in Algeria and the suburbs of Paris. Drawing from his experience of living within two disparate cultures, he has developed a dynamic practice that examines the intricacies of social, historical, and cultural differences across the globe. Attia’s installations and sculptures offer a poetic yet pointed reading of the relationships between Western and non-Western cultures. In 2022, he curated the 12th Berlin Biennale, making Attia the first artist to curate the exhibition since 2012.

Attia is currently featured in the Sharjah Biennial, on view through June 11, 2023.

Best known for his weaving and stitching of metaphorically charged materials, such as colorful ribbon, leather, wood, and copper, Nicholas Hlobo creates composite objects that are intricate and seductively tactile. The results are highly evocative, and the artist combines anthropomorphic imagery and cultural symbols and traditions to create amalgamated forms that feel at once familiar, alien, and ancient.

Hlobo’s practice engages themes of self-discovery and explores the intersections of his race, gender, and cultural and sexual identity within the context of his South African heritage.

London-based artist Chantal Joffe is known for her evocative portraits of herself and of the people she is closest to, including her immediate family, her friends, and her extended family members. By creating tension between the scale of her compositions and the proposed intimacy of their subject matter—like in Ishbel on Pink (2018), an emotive and expressionist portrait of a woman against a blush backdrop—Joffe prioritizes the human identities and relationships that undergird her compositions over any kind of painterly realism.
