Adriel Visoto Brazilian, b. 1987
In Adriel Visoto’s artistic practice, he creates private, confessional, and autobiographical narratives based on trivial experiences and daily rituals. These unfold either within the domestic space or the urban environment, exploring the boundaries between public and private, as well as individual and collective experiences.
The home environment, the urban space, the body, and the objects inhabiting these settings become central elements, staged and choreographed in sensitive and intimate compositions. They function as part of a mise en scène, where order and the sense of identification that define this imaginary are disrupted by accident, solitude, and strangeness.
Visoto chooses to create his paintings in small formats, a decision that emphasizes and reinforces their objectual, domestic, and affective dimensions. These scales reduce gestures to delicate and meticulous brushstrokes, inviting the observer to come closer. In doing so, they establish a sense of complicity, akin to that of a confidant, fostering a dialogue that is close and intimate.
Visoto holds a BFA from Escola Guignard (UEMG) and a MFA from Instituto de Artes (Unicamp). He held the solo exhibitions: Solitude Souvernirs at Mama Projects (New York, USA), Estranho Comum at Verve Galeria (São Paulo, Brazil) and Não me espere para o jantar at Memorial Minas Gerais Vale (Belo Horizonte, Brazil).
