Where humanity meets wild: unveiling the enigmatic hybrids of Toco-Oco

Step into a realm where human and animal meld, their forms imbued with symbolism and brimming with emotional depth. This is the fantastical universe crafted by the Brazilian artistic duo, Toco-Oco. Through their exquisite sculptures, Lara Alcântara and Guilherme Neumann weave narratives that explore the complexities of human existence. Imagine a creature with a wolf’s body cradling a human head, or a figure burdened by a giant, hollowed-out head – these captivating hybrids embody the tension between societal expectations and our untamed instincts.

Toco-Oco’s artistry transcends mere aesthetics. Their creations are deeply symbolic, often adorned with childlike drawings and enigmatic emblems. Each piece becomes a totem, whispering tales of hope and struggle within a world that mirrors our own. The artists themselves acknowledge the influence of injustice and the yearning for a deeper connection to the mystical and natural realms. By blurring the lines between human and animal, Toco-Oco invites us to confront the duality within ourselves and ponder the mysteries of the human condition.
