Since the second half of the 2000s, Bruno Baptistelli (1985) has developed his artistic practice through multiple media, focusing on assemblages, installations, objects, paintings, photographs, videos, and conceptual projects. Psychoanalysis and its concepts serve as the guiding thread of his production. Initially working in public spaces and observing the urban environment, Baptistelli has turned his attention to the relationship between this environment and private spaces and objects.

Some of his main solo exhibitions include 4.000 DC, Galeria Luisa Strina, São Paulo (2023); Memento, 55SP, São Paulo (2022); Outro, GDA, São Paulo (2021); Blues – umtrabalhoumtexto, São Paulo (2019); Acúmulo, Galeria Pilar, São Paulo (2018); For A While, Artkartell Projectspace, Budapest (2017); and Narrativas cotidianas, Complexo Cultural Funarte Brasília (2015).

Among his most notable group shows are Project a Black Planet: The Art and Culture of Panafrica, Art Institute of Chicago, USA (2024); MACBA, Barcelona, Spain (2025); Barbican, London, UK (2025); Kanal – Centre Pompidou, Brussels, Belgium (2026); Schirn Kunsthalle Frankfurt, Germany (2024); Histórias Brasileiras, MASP, São Paulo (2022); Memórias do Futuro, Memorial da Resistência de São Paulo (2022); and Histórias Afro-Atlânticas, MASP and Instituto Tomie Ohtake, São Paulo (2018). His works are included in major collections such as Museu de Arte de São Paulo and Pinacoteca do Estado de São Paulo.

Untitled (2025) is part of the T series, in which the artist creates works that modulate the structural elements of the letter T, exploring its formal and structural potential. The artist also sees in the letter an allusion to the recent change in his surname, now legally Battistelli. Furthermore, he uses the color black—through acrylic paint and charcoal—in these works as a symbol of Black people.
