Gilvan Nunes

Philadelphia, PA

Résumé

Artist Statement

"Gilvan Nunes began painting in the 1980s at the prestigious School of Visual Arts at Parque Lage in Rio de Janeiro; epicenter of the resurrection of painting in Brazil. Since then, his work has evolved into a robust and colorful explosion of a fantastic nature. Like other artists who flourished at this time, Nunes continues to investigate alternatives to painting in his own time, free of collective principles; as the artist that found his own pictorial system.

Gilvan's art is a vigorous painting that erupts without a project, whose results of the procedure suggest floral motifs and landscapes. The beauty of these paintings despite their trivial reasons does not contradict the complexity of the true pictorial action of his work. The manual process is, therefore, for the artist today, the way he expresses his visual thought and lets his poetic sense flow, resulting in his poetic works of art."

- Fernando Cocchiarale, Art Critic and Curator, Director of the Rio de Janeiro Museum of Modern Art (MAM), Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
