Santídio Pereira *1996 in Curral Comprido, Brazil Lives in São Paulo, Brazil Santídio Pereira was born on October 23, 1996 in Curral Comprido, a town near the city of Isaísas Coelho in the State of Piauí. As a little boy, his mother moved to the city of São Paulo leaving him with the memories of his early childhood by the side of his his great-grandfather. At the age of eight, Santídio moved to the city of São Paulo, thus resuming maternal contact. Both started living in the vicinity of CEAGESP, the largest public market in Latin America, where Santidio would later dedicate himself to professional activities. He was around 8 years old when he started attending the Instituto Acaia, a non-profit social organization that welcomes children, tennagers and their families, offering them artistic-social-educational activities. At Ateliê Acaia, Santidio carried out various artistic activities, such as carpentry, ceramics, animation, painting classes, until he stood out in the drawing and woodcut workshops, under the guidance of the Brazilian woodcutter Fabrício Lopez. Santídio has always been hard worker but it was due to his interest in studies that he stood out, using his time to develop his skills so as to transmit more and more knowledge to his works. The most striking feature of his work is found in the use of several woodcut blocks for the composition of a unique piece, subverting the characteristic of reproducibility existing in the language of printmaking technics. Thick layers of paint grouped by overlapping prints reveal landscapes, people, animals and affective memories of a time that the artist insists on not erasing. Interested in expanding his knowledge through the art universe, he began to attend free art history classes given by the art critic and curator Rodrigo Naves, who was enchanted by the young engraver's works, curating his first solo exhibition at Galeria Estação in 2016. In 2018, Galeria Estação held Santídio’s second solo exhibition and since then his work has been catching the attention of several cultural institutions and collections in Brazil and abroad. Just five years later since his first solo exhibit at Galeria Estação, Santídio already has on his resume an artistic residency in New York (2019), the participation in an important group show at the Fondation Cartier in Paris and Shangai (2019/2021), at Panorama of MAM (2019) in addition to group shows in several cultural institutions. Currently, his works can be viewed also trough important public collections such as Fondation Cartier (France), Colección Cisneros (USA), Pinacoteca of the State of São Paulo and Rio Museum of Art (Brazil).

Moisés Patrício *1984 in São Paulo, Brazil Lives in São Paulo He had his first contact with painting when he was 9 years old.Eventually he met a mentor, Juan José Balzi, who guided him and encouraged him to expand his abilities for 15 years. He is inspired by and consistently paints themes of his religion, his culture and the people who surround him. Many of his paintings depict religious ceremonies (rituals) He uses great detail to present a realistic picture of the people and the environments involved. Additionally he is an activist for the rights of the black community. Some of the issues that he is active with are housing, health and safety. His painting process includes choosing a scene from a photograph or from a ritual he is familiar with. Then he draws that scene on canvas. At this point he begins to paint using acrylics. This simplicity is what makes his paintings so realistic.

Cícero Alves dos Santos - Véio *1948 in Sergipe, Brazil Lives in Sergipe
Cícero Alves dos Santos (“Véio”) takes up a unique position within the Brazilian art environment. His works reveal dimensions that are significantly different from what we call ‘popular art’. His sculptures combine aspects of the popular tradition (sculptures in wood, use of the figures suggested by tree trunks and branches, and the use of rudimentary tools) with intense colours- much closer to industrial than to the delicate shades of nature. This stridence, of a somewhat pop nature, is intensified by a formidable imagination, which makes us see hybrid figures in his wood works, figures that blend the characteristics of the animals we know with those of the androids and transformers present in films and cartoons. On the other hand, just with one penknife, Cícero sculpts forms that are minute in size, but bare an enigmatic appearance, bringing back a force once reduced by scale. Men and women climb and go down mountains for no apparent reason; animals straddle each other, and women carry animal body parts on their heads. In these small sculptures, there is a more realistic aspect present in the carving of the shapes of people and animals. However, as yet we do not know the real meaning of his behaviour.
Cícero Alves dos Santos lives in the vicinity of Nossa Senhora da Glória, an important city in the backlands of the state of Sergipe, with some 50 thousand inhabitants. The city public market is very important to the state and attracts people from far afield to trade chickens, asses, pigs and also electronic equipment of all kinds, as well as lots of imported bric-à-brac from China, or maybe from Paraguay. Coexistence with so ambiguous and so dynamic an environment has further triggered the talent of this rare sertanejo (resident of the backlands of the Brazilian Northeast), who has made the preservation of the memories of his people into the very reason of his existence. Memory is not nostalgia. For this reason, to affirm the entirety of an art originating from a rural world that is steadily disappearing, Cícero had to become the creator of an artistic category that did not exist. This one.

Amadeo Luciano Lorenzato *1900 in Belo Horizonte, Brazil †1995 in Belo Horizonte
Considered the seminal artist of his generation, Amadeo Luciano Lorenzato was drawn to the natural world and symbols of daily life. Largely a self-taught painter, Lorenzato developed a singular body of paintings centered on his fastidious observations of the everyday subjects he encountered in his hometown of Belo Horizonte, Brazil; depicting landscapes, still lives, and scenes from his neighborhood His aim was not to replicate his environment, but rather to translate it through a simplified vision of reduced geometric forms utilizing rich, handmade pigments and defined brush strokes. Lorenzato considered painting an everyday activity, a natural extension of himself, and “a form of spiritual survival.” Born in 1900 to Italian parents who immigrated to Brazil in the last decade of the nineteenth century, Lorenzato began working as a painter’s assistant in 1910. With the epidemic of Spanish influenza, which hit the capital in the late 1920s, Lorenzato’s family returned to Asiero, Italy, where the young émigré became a wall painter in the reconstruction of the town. In 1925, Lorenzato enrolled at the Real Accademia delle Arti in Viccenza to develop his artistic practice. Eager to visit other parts of Europe, Lorenzato left the academy the following year and embarked on a year-long cycling trip across Europe with the Dutch Painter, Cornelius Keesman. This trip was of particular significance for Lorenzato, not only in that it enabled Lorenzato to absorb European culture and architecture, but also provided him with the opportunity to explore museums, encountering works by artists such as Matisse, Picasso, and Gauguin. Following the trip, Lorenzato moved back to Italy for a short time before returning to Brazil in 1948 to start work in the construction trade in his native Belo Horizonte. After sustaining an injury to his leg in 1956, Lorenzato decided to commit himself to painting full time, until his death in 1995. Though appreciated during his lifetime by his contemporaries, Lorenzato was long considered a regional artist, with his work remaining largely unknown outside of Brazil. The recent attention on Lorenzato’s work has led to an overdue re-examination of the artist, his place within the broader context of Brazilian modernism and international art history. His work has been presented in numerous solo and group shows, including a large retrospective exhibition at the Museu de Arte da Pampulha, Belo Horizonte, in 1995. His most recent shows include S|2 Gallery, London (2019); David Zwirner, London (2019); Mendes Wood DM, New York (2019); Galeria Estação, São Paulo (2014), and Lorenzato: And You Can Not Even Imagine That I Am Epaminondas, Bergamin & Gomide, São Paulo (2014). His work is also in a number of public collections, such as Fundação Clóvis Salgado, Belo Horizonte; Museu de Arte da Pampulha, Belo Horizonte; Museu de Arte de São Paulo (MASP); Nouveau Musée National de Monaco; Pinacoteca de São Paulo, and Universidade Federal de Viçosa.
