Durban Segnini Gallery presents the exhibition:
Light for the Amazon
Organized by Omar López-Chahoud
September 11 – October 24, 2025
Benefit Event and Opening reception: Thursday, September 11th, 2025, 6 – 10pm
Durban Segnini Gallery is pleased to announce Light for the Amazon, an exhibitionorganized by Omar López-Chahoud with a selection of works from the gallery’s collection.
With a focus on modern and contemporary art this selection of works highlights some of themost important Latin American 20th century masters in conversation with contemporary artists from different generations and diverse backgrounds. The works on view range from
geometric abstraction to loose figuration, reflecting at times on a cross cultural dialogue nurtured by references to pre-Hispanic visual languages.
A portion of the proceeds from the exhibition sales will benefit Light for the Amazon, a nonprofit organization committed to environmental education in the Peruvian Amazon.
Proceeds will directly support Guardians of the Amazon, a year-long educational program developed for the community of Santa María de Ojeal. The curriculum focuses on ecology, sustainability, and the preservation of indigenous knowledge of medicinal plants and healing.
The gallery’s project room features a special presentation by Light for the Amazon, including a selection of works by the organization’s founder, Matteo Callegari. Also on view are two limited-edition prints by Callegari, created specifically to support the project. All proceeds
from the sale of these editions will go directly to the nonprofit, helping sustain its educational initiatives in the rainforest.
Selection of works by Harry Abend, Carmelo Arden Quin, Mario Abreu, Ricardo Alcaide, Antonio Asis, Jose Luis Cuevas, Colette Delozanne, Bolivar Gaudin, Elsa Gramko, Enio Iommi, Sol Lewitt, Leo Matiz, Roberto Matta, Felipe Mujica, Julio Le Parc, Mercedes Pardo, Richard Prince, Alejandro Puente, Eduardo Ramirez Villamizar, Luisa Richter, Carlos Rojas, Francisco Salazar, Humberto Jaimes Sanchez, Fanny Sanin, Mira Schendel and Manolo Vellojin.
