While in London(1972-1978), Figueiredo carried out studies in Art History and English Literature. The artist asserted himself as an exponent of the Brazilian counterculture movement in the 1970s through the production of music performances’ scenography, graphic design projects, and thanks to his participation in the historic publication Navilouca.
Statement
Luciano Figueiredo creates various possibilities of perception, where his work is distinguished by its experimental, interdisciplinary character. Currently, the artist develops completely planar paintings, in which he constructs and overlaps layers of colours applied directly on wood or canvas, inviting a mood of pure contemplation from the viewer, in their own individual time.
