Lot Essay

'The artist's remarkable gift for realizing the pictorial potential of ordinary utensils can also be linked to the idiosyncratic notion of gambiarra, a Brazilian term that literally means 'improvisation but more generally embodies the prevalent attitude of making do with little in a country where many still live close to the poverty line. In that sense, his works questions notions of Brazilian identity both in form and content.'
(H. Amirsadeghi, Contemporary Art Brazil, London 2012, p. 106).
