Brazilian Art in Singapore
Brito : The Ambassador of Brazilian Art and Joy
There is an almost fairy-tale quality to the story of the renouned brazilian artist Romero Britto. As a creative yet impoverished child from Brazil, Britto often painted images on scraps of cardboard and newspaper. He had drive and passion to excel and prospered academically, but Britto was continuously pulled toward his creative roots with a determination to learn and succeed. Brito traveled from Brazil to Europe and then from Europe to the United States to exhibit and sell his art. His resolve was strong and his belief in his art was unshakable. By 1989, people of all ages and walks of life were beginning to recognize and enjoy Britto's style of 'neo cubism' that brings to life the pop art movement of the mid 50s.
His portfolio included high-profiled ad campaigns for Absolut Vodka, Apple Computers, Pepsi Cola, the United Nations, Disney and the Bank Atlantic Florida – just to name a few. His achievements put him alongside the likes of Andy Warhol and Keith Haring. Today, the heir apparent of neo-pop cubism holds an extraordinarily bright future in the palms of his talented hands. In the winter of 2004, a Britto original, Volvo V 50 brought $ 71,500 at live auction to benefit Best Buddies International in Miami, Florida. It is a tremendous personal reward for Britto that his art is capable of inspiring other to give.
Britto's works are making a second appearance at Singapore's Opera Gallery located at Takashimaya Shopping Centre from September 30 to November 8th. Purchase prices averages between S$10,000 to S$40,000.
