Alex Senna is a Brazilian Street artist born in 1982 in Orlândia and working in Sao Paulo. His works can be seen all over the world. Alex is colorblind, so is is not strange that most of the works are in black and white.
His works are about what he sees and what he feels. “I imagine that by putting my cards on the table, I can be clear and objective with the audience, putting up a present dialogue, always with ideas and reflections.”
Eduardo Saretta is one of the artists of SHN Art Collective Brazil. Their work is part of the group exhibition Come Together at the O.D. Gallery.
SHN originated in the city of Americana, São Paulo, Brazil in 1998, SHN emerged from the industrial waste of a silk-screen industry. The idea to make stickers and posters to wet paste on the streets permeates all the activities of the team. SHN is an art collective, or team of friends, that went to the school of the do-it-yourself and the counterculture together. The whole imaginary is developed around the hardcore and independent rock ideology.
In de O.D. Gallery is de tentoonstelling Ressources Naturelles te zien met werken van Pipsqueak was here!!! en Ador. De kunstenaars voelen een sterke band met het dierenleven en de natuur in het algemeen. In deze tentoonstelling reflecteren ze op het verdwijnen van aardse grondstoffen en natuurlijke hulpbronnen. Ze hebben het gevoel dat ‘de mens als een kannibaal zijn eigen moeder aarde opeet’. Pipsqueak gaf ons een toelichting op hun ideeën achter hun kunst en op deze tentoonstelling.
