Vanderlei Lopes

Vanderlei Lopes builds his work at the intersection and friction of the different languages he uses, such as drawings, sculptures, photographs and videos. His experimental approach brings together symbolic, spatial, temporal elements and reveals the action character of his work. Through an observation of the world and an experimental sense, it operates overlapping temporalities and different spaces in which the tradition of culture and transience come together in the construction of an experience activated by his work.

Graduated in Fine Arts at the Institute of Arts of the Universidade Estadual Paulista, he had several individual exhibitions such as: 2018 - Arena (Galeria Athena – Rio de Janeiro, Brazil); 2017 - Domo (Capela do Morumbi - São Paulo, Brazil); 2014 - Grilagem (Museu de Arte Moderna do Rio de Janeiro - Rio de Janeiro, Brazil); 2011 - Horas Seculares e Instantâneas (Museu de Arte Contemporânea de Niterói - Niterói, Brasil), among others.

Among the group exhibitions, he participated of: 2019 - What I really want to tell you (Atchugarry Art Center – Miami, USA); 2018 - Com o ar pesado demais pra respirar (Galeria Athena – Rio de Janeiro, Brazil); 2015 - Uma Coleção Particular: Arte Contemporânea no Acervo da Pinacoteca (Pinacoteca do Estado de São Paulo – São Paulo, Brazil); 2014 - Ouro: Um Fio que Costura a Arte do Brasil (Centro Cultural Banco do Brasil – Rio de Janeiro, Brazil); 2009 - Bienal do Mercosul: Ao Redor de 4’33’’ (Porto Alegre, Brazil), among others.

His works are in important collections such as Pinacoteca do Estado de São Paulo (São Paulo, Brazil), Museu de Arte Moderna do Rio de Janeiro (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil), Museu de Arte Moderna de São Paulo (São Paulo, Brazil), among others.
