Latitude
This series in silkscreen and acrylic on canvas was already shown in 2010 at the Espaço Cultural Conjunto Nacional, and at the Reserva Cultural de Cinema, both spaces in São Paulo, SP.
According to critic and journalist Oscar D’Ambrosio, “Thaís Medeiros conceives of art as a mechanism for reflection. By exploring the possibilities of a body, whether in dance or in reclining nudes, he indicates that the work of a creator is to deepen research and verticalize proposals. His work, when constituted as a visual expression, asks what each person does with their own existence”.
The work "Latitude no Verde" was exhibited in 2010 as Hors Concours at the 23rd ACSP Pinheiros Art Salon, São Paulo, SP.
Clown
This series in silkscreen and acrylic on canvas is inspired by photo actor Ricardo Puccetti (Clown Teotônio), from Grupo Lume (Campinas, SP).
His works were already exhibited in 2010 at the Reserva Cultural de Cinema and at the Federal Public Ministry, both spaces in São Paulo, SP, in addition to participating in group exhibitions.
Asa Branca
