Founded in 2014, the Luis Maluf Art Gallery presents itself as a space to encourage and foster contemporary art. Its history mixes with that of its founder, homonymous to the Gallery. Luis Maluf has been in the market for over ten years and positions himself as an observer of the art scene, developing cultural projects, exhibitions and actions in the online and offline world.

In its two spaces, Galeria and Usina, Luis Maluf Galeria de Arte believes in the importance of showing, studying and encouraging the plurality of Brazilian culture and presenting the different visions and readings of Brazilianness and the world. For this reason, it has a collection of national and international artists who move between different languages. With works that point to the abstract and the figurative, using different techniques, each work in the collection reflects its author’s research.

It is understood as an environment in a disruptive and innovative process, with open doors for contemporary art and its surroundings. It fosters and promotes discussions and debates about the current cultural and artistic production and the approximation between people, art, and culture.

Working within its conceptual pillars, the Luis Maluf Galeria de Arte has presented projects such as Artist Residency, DriveThru Art, and workshops in partnership with Fundação Casa, besides receiving in its spaces works and exhibitions from different artistic fronts.

Inaugurated with the Artistic Residency project, in June 2021, the Usina Luis Maluf emerged as a space for fostering and encouraging artistic production in the Barra Funda region. Its main pillars are artistic training and access to art, considering itself a space for construction, debate, and access to the plurality of Brazilian culture.

The space is used both for the construction of ateliers during the Artistic Residency and the production of the artists represented by the Gallery, and for collective and individual exhibitions of the most diverse artistic languages. Artists such as Cranio, Finok, and Shizue Sakamoto have already had their exhibitions there.

Located in Jardins, Galeria Luis Maluf sees itself as an exhibition space of contemporary art, as well as an environment for debate and discussion around the current artistic production in Brazil and in the world.

The space has already hosted several important exhibitions in the art circuit and can host group and individual exhibitions. Artists such as Mariano Barone, Edu Silva and Aline Bispo have already had their exhibitions at the Peixoto Gomide Gallery.
