TEC

TEC Born in Córdoba, Argentina, 1975. Lives and works in Brazil and Argentina. The combination of supports and techniques is the tone of the work of the artist from Córdoba (Argentina), who makes the street his source of aesthetic inspiration. Tec explores the ambiguity of public and private spaces in art, using various methods: performative intervention, site-specific installation and action filming. The artist innovated and expanded the urban art scene with his giant drawings painted on the asphalt of the slopes of São Paulo, making use of perspective from a distance. Using the ground as a support for his graffiti, he incorporated the drone as a tool for his production. Series of video drones were created from figures specially designed for this technique. Tec unites the speed of action painting with the formal rigor of superimposed layers. His strokes and use of color are based on established knowledge and the appearance of things to establish a new interpretation of reality through the creative act. His works impact and reaffirm his relationship with the city, expressed in an intense social dialogue. n his entire production there is a notable identification with the children's poetic universe, whether in the graphics, the images or the colors. Known internationally with the exhibition “De Inside e De Fora”, held in 2011 at the São Paulo Museum of Art (Masp), Tec exhibited his work in the streets and institutions of large cities, such as New York, Washington, Barcelona, Berlin, Cologne and Vienna. In 2021 he restored the large mural of him in Minhocão. In the year (2022), Tec inaugurated a solo exhibition at the MAB-Faap museum, in São Paulo. The exhibition is an unprecedented balance of the artist's career, which led to works that go beyond the traditional technique – on canvas, with acrylic paint – and stand out on other surfaces, such as murals, photographs, installation, site-specific and video. His works portray much of what Tec sees in São Paulo, the city where he has lived for more than 10 years. The exhibition placed Education as an articulating element of the individual, with internal and external activations, with public school students (EMEI) and FAAP students.
