Felipe Rezende

Graduated in Arts from the Federal University of Bahia. Works mainly with drawing and its expansive possibilities, constituting an encounter with daily life and elements contained therein. Labor and wanderings, the environment and its remains, small stories and cases of public dimension serve as material for the construction of visual narratives in a link between fiction and reality.

About his work, curator Amanda Carneiro wrote: “Traditionally associated with a preliminary role in the production process, drawing was conceived as a subsidiary in the creation of works of art, often removed from public view in favor of painting or sculpture. Aimed at specific installations of the place, based on graphic impressions that do not untie the aesthetic experience of the object as an autonomous form or only support, in the works of Felipe Rezende the drawings are not a preparatory part but a direct, intimate and revealing language of his artistic expression '.
Selected exhibitions include group shows at Museu de Arte Moderna da Bahia and Museu da Cultura Afro Brasileira, in Brasil, and experiences in Oporto, Portugal and Mexico City, Mexico. In 2020, Felipe was one of three artists awarded at the 7th edition of Prêmio EDP nas Artes.
