Description: The retrospective "Fernando Velloso por ele mesmo", curated by Fernando Bini and Maria José Justino, is a tribute to the 90 years of life of the artist from Curitiba, from his first works, even in the time of Escola de Belas Artes, from the dawn of the irresistible appeal of abstractionism, to the most recent works. "My painting is chained like a ladder; each new frame has a reference to the previous one. A life is perhaps too little to make a good picture, so you can't keep jumping from one branch to another. The artist needs to maintain coherence until the end of life, mainly because from one moment on he no longer has the spirit for dangerous adventures", says Velloso. Turning to Velloso is alluding to an artist of the deepest and most consequential, who has been inscribed in the history of contemporary art since the 1950s. Unchallenged, Velloso turned 90 with an enviable youth. In the life of mortals, he differentiates himself as an intelligent, cultured person with a singular sense of humor; in the art world, he remains a radical artist, without compromises, increasingly keen hand and eye, in a full delivery to the act of painting
Notes: Published on the occasion of the exhibition held a the Museu de Arte do Rio, from December 24, 2020 - February 28, 2021.
