Dear friends,
As we look forward to the launch of our 6th edition online this Friday, we’re sharing one article a little early to coincide with the opening of his solo exhibition today at @fortesdaloiagabriel in São Paulo.
We’re talking about the incredible multimedia artist @barrao28 ! Known not only for his astonishing sculptural work, he was also one of the founding members of Seis Mãos and Chelpa Ferro, two influential artist collectives formed in Rio de Janeiro in the 1980s and 1990s, respectively.
Barrão investigates how familiar objects can acquire new forms and meanings through fragmentation, accumulation, and encounters between materials. His sculptures are constructed from louça and porcelain pieces drawn from a collection of decorative and utilitarian objects gathered at secondhand markets, including shells, animals, fruit, utensils, and other elements of domestic kitsch. Organized by color and motif, these objects constitute a repertoire of forms, finishes, and glazes from which the artist develops abstract structures with branching contours and volumes that suggest organic growth. By assembling fragments and exposing their less recognizable sides, Barrão shifts attention toward color, texture, and silhouette, allowing familiar details to emerge intermittently within hybrid bodies.
* Read the article in bio and stay tuned for the full 6th edition this Friday!

Barrão’s new solo show “Troca de segredos” opens on November 3rd at FDAG Jardins.
The artist often exposes the least recognizable sides of his source objects, bringing anonymous surfaces into view and directing attention toward volume, contour, and silhouette. Familiar details emerge intermittently within structures that seem to follow their own logic of accumulation. Each with its own temperament, the sculptures evoke beings in metamorphosis, as though tracing the transformations of figures from a fable. The exhibition’s title alludes to the exchanges that shape this process, while suggesting a more intimate connection between the works and the viewer.

A nova exposição individual de Barrão, “Troca de segredos”, abre no dia 03.11 na FDAG Jardins.
O artista frequentemente expõe as faces menos reconhecíveis dos objetos que utiliza, trazendo à vista superfícies anônimas e direcionando a atenção para o volume, o contorno e a silhueta. Detalhes familiares surgem de maneira intermitente em estruturas que parecem seguir uma lógica própria de acumulação. Cada uma com seu temperamento, as esculturas evocam seres em metamorfose, como se registrassem as transformações de figuras de uma fábula. O título da exposição alude às trocas que constituem esse processo e sugere uma conexão mais íntima entre as obras e o espectador.

“Troca de segredos”, Barrão’s new exhibition, opens on November 3 at FDAG Jardins.
Shells, giant strawberries, elephants and owls come together in the artist’s sculptures, assembled from porcelain fragments of decorative and utilitarian objects collected at secondhand markets. Displaced from their original functions and scales, these elements of a kitsch domestic universe become part of abstract structures, where colors, textures and forms enter into unexpected relationships.
Moving between the recognition of a figure and its dissolution into the whole, the eye follows branching contours and proliferating volumes that suggest organic growth. The joints remain visible, revealing how each sculpture takes shape through encounters between objects and the traces of their histories. The watercolors on view stem from the same sculptural thinking, exploring ways of bringing these elements together on paper.

“Troca de segredos”, nova exposição de Barrão, abre no dia 03.11 na FDAG Jardins.
Construídas com fragmentos de porcelana de objetos decorativos e utilitários coletados em feiras de usados, conchas, morangos gigantes, elefantes e corujas se encontram nas esculturas do artista. Deslocados de suas funções e escalas originais, esses elementos de um universo doméstico kitsch passam a integrar estruturas abstratas, nas quais cores, texturas e formas estabelecem relações inesperadas.
Entre o reconhecimento de uma figura e sua dissolução no conjunto, o olhar percorre contornos ramificados e volumes proliferantes sugerem um crescimento orgânico. As emendas permanecem visíveis, revelando como cada escultura se constitui no encontro entre objetos e os vestígios de suas histórias. As aquarelas em exibição partem do mesmo pensamento escultórico, explorando no papel as possibilidades de articulação entre esses elementos.
