Artist

Tunga

Tunga is a Brazilian artist working across sculpture, installation, and performance since the 1970s. His practice engages materials including copper wire, lead, and found objects in configurations that suggest alchemical processes and occult systems. His work operates between the physical and metaphysical, creating environments and objects that activate space through gesture, ritual, and material transformation rather than conventional sculptural form.
