About
Artur Fidalgo celebrated fourteenyears as a gallery owner in 2014, combining two apparently contradictory terms: continuity and change. Made up of opposites, this biorhythm reveals the crystallization of a path over time: that of renewal.
With this in mind, Artur Fidalgo exhibits the most vital contemporary art of various generations and provenances. With the characteristic malleability of renewal, its space has housed exhibitions by emerging artists such as Camila Soato, Danilo Ribeiro, Deborah Engel, Derlon, Fernando de La Rocque, Flávia Metzler, Franz Manata & Saulo Laudares, Gabriel Centurion, Julia Debasse, Nino Cais, Malu Saddi, Rafael Carneiro, Sofia Borges as well as by renowned artists, such as Albano Afonso, Carlos Bevilacqua, Edgard de Souza, Ernesto Neto, Hildebrando de Castro, Iran do Espírito Santo, José Damasceno, Paulo Climachauska, Rosana Palazyan, Sérgio Sister, Suzana Queiroga and Victor Arruda. To this wide-ranging cast may be added names from international contemporary art such as that of North American vídeo artist Bill Lundberg. Since its opening as Escritório de Arte in 1987, Fidalgo has been working with artists such as Amílcar de Castro, Artur Barrio, Carlos Vergara, Mira Schendel, and Tunga. Inaugurated in 2000, Artur Fidalgo gave a new form to the work he had already begun. Expanded in 2005, the growth of the physical space has been accompanied by the growth of its importance on the Brazilian and international art scenes alike.
