This week, CultureHop takes us to K Contemporary for Dichotomies, a new body of work by Francisco Souto following his acclaimed showing at the 60th Venice Biennale. Deliberately distancing itself from Souto’s personal history as a Venezuelan immigrant, the work grounds itself in universal human experience and political immediacy shaped by today’s global crises. His photorealistic drawings feature universally recognizable objects—boots, sneakers, gloves, stones—rendered with meticulous care and finished with a glass-like depth that draws viewers in. Stripped of context and floating in open space, these symbols invite empathy, prolonged looking, and reflection on displacement, resilience, and human connection.
