Túlio Pinto
Bio
The artist pairs dynamic shapes and disparate materials in his captivating sculptural installations. Stressing the material distinctions within his creations, subverts the expectations of these elements and seemingly transports them to a space where the rule of logic, mass, and dimension no longer apply. Pinto shares with the viewer of his work a bit of his whimsy manifest in monumental forms. Born in Brazil in 1974, Pinto earned his college degree in 2009.
Statement
“In the last ten years, I developed research on sculpture and installation with industrial materials, which show in the constitution and in the way they are presented, my intention to promote encounters of different potentials and temperaments; oppositions based on the limits of possibilities. The dialogues promoted by the encounter of different materials are metaphors for the conditions of existence and being."
