Description: Catalog comprising about 50 works by Rafael Silveira (Parana, Brazil) including unpublished installations, kinetic objects, frames that transform into sculptures, embroideries-objects, as well as paintings, drawings, engravings and projections. The work of the artist has already illustrated some of the main Brazilian magazines and international publications, such as the American Juxtapoz and Hi-Fructose and the French Hey !. Exhibition curated by Baixo Ribeiro, founding member of the gallery Choque Cultural (SP)"Up until now, the reader passed through flowers, strawberries, flies, birds, spiders, skulls, hats, teeth, dentures, eyes (a lot of eyes), a heart ... This book's opening reveals Rafael Silveira's omnivorous appetite towards pictures, images , images / things, images applied over creatures and objects. His motifs and shapes vary vastly. They can be delicate and illustrative, much like butterflies printed on matchboxes, flamingos walking through mist, a small row of wrapped teeth, the amputated hyper-realistic finger."--Page [29].
