Bruno Leti is a painter, filmmaker, printmaker, photographer and publisher. His practice is marked by elegant abstraction – musical arrangements in a restrained palette that recall abstract expressionism.

‘Pessoa’ is an enigmatic work. Objects, almost real, almost not pepper the page. The title is in reference to Fernando Pessoa, a modernist Portuguese poet. It is, in Leti’s words, an “expression of my wonder and delight at his poetry and prose, which has nourished me over many years”.

Leti is a prestigious artist. He is represented at the National Gallery of Australia and the Hirshhorn Museum in Washington DC, among others. He is the recipient of numerous accolades, including the Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant in New York, a State Library of Victoria Fellowship and residencies across the world.

For collectors of prints, ‘Pessoa’ promises to nourish.
