Gustavo Speridião

Born in Rio de Janeiro in 1978, Gustavo Speridião is a contemporary artist who lives and works in his hometown. His work is deeply influenced by the concept of Kino-Glaz, an idea from Russian avant-garde cinema that suggests cinema should mimic human sight, "cinema-eye." Speridião uses this philosophy to capture and explore nuances of everyday life through his works.

Speridião’s artistic practice spans a variety of mediums, including drawings, collages, paintings, installations, and sculptures. His works are known for their witty juxtapositions and an engaged critique of art history and contemporary culture, with special attention to language, framing, and color usage.

This multidisciplinary approach allows Speridião to create pieces that not only challenge visual conventions but also engage with contemporary social and cultural issues, reflecting a deep connection to the urban and cultural environment of Rio de Janeiro.
