The sculpture of Brazilian artist Barrão, exhibited at Galeria Laura Marsiaj, is compelling and touching, as well as quirky and off-kilter. It references pop and kitsch culture, while creating a new visual culture. Barrão allows the viewer complete freedom to create their own dialogue and narrative within the context of the work, while still wondering what the artist was thinking. The pieces access the history of the original objects, while giving them a new meaning and life in a new format. This dichotomy in the work is what creates its magic!!!!!"His works evince a curious spirit that enjoys taking objects apart and then sticking them back together in a way that confers a new sort of operation to them. With no regard for the household use or decorative function of these objects, Barrão disorders and destroys them, to then construct his artworks from their fragments." Galeria Fortes Vilaça press release October, 2009
The "accessorator" loves repurposed work, particularly made from fragments of old & new porcelain!!!!! I am enthralled by how something was one thing ...... and becomes something else. I think change is wonderful ....... for all of us and for objects!!!!
I LOVED these!!!
