Rodrigo Branco
Home    Info
About: O artista paulistano Rodrigo Branco representa toda a complexidade da megalópole de São Paulo nos seus traços. Com uma biografia complexa e surpreendente, conseguiu ao longo de seus quase 30 anos combinar de forma inusitada e com muito esmero olhares e oportunidades que fazem dele um artista de grande talento e profissionalismo.
Nascido no bairro do Grajaú, extremo zona Sul da capital, Branco tem origem baiana e teve seus primeiros contatos com a arte dentro da família. Já na adolescência descobriu no bairro o universo cultural do grafite. Por influencia do pai despertou seu olhar fotográfico, o que acabou sendo determinante para sua forma de ver o mundo e de retratar as várias faces no seu trabalho.
O artista coloca em seus desenhos uma infinidade de rostos que habitam seu imaginário, assim como elementos que remetem a sua infância e a tudo que o circunda nos bairros, na rua e nas pessoas.
Rodrigo Branco já realizou de diversas exposições no Brasil e em outros países como Alemanha, Estados Unidos, Inglaterra. Participou também de vários festivais de arte como o ArtRua no Rio de Janeiro, II bienal internacional de muralismo em Cali na Colômbia, e etc.




São Paulo’s own Brazilian artist, Rodrigo Branco, represents all the complexities of this megalopolis on his strokes. With a surprising and complex biography, throughout his almost thirty years of age, he managed to combine unusual sights of his world with kindness and heart. His will to become a better artist, being from studying in social art projects when growing up or with his peers and years of dedication laid down the path for him to become a talented and professional artist that he is today.

Born in southern outskirts of São Paulo with north-eastern Brazil’s descent, he was first influenced by his family members to pursue a career in art. Later, during his teens, he discovered the graffiti universe on the streets of his neighborhood and photography with his father. These determined the way he approaches the many facets of his art.

Branco paints faces and elements that inhabit his imaginary, childhood and the life that flows from people and the streets of the world.

He’s been part of many expositions in Brazil and other countries like Germany, US and England and also art festivals like ArtRua in Rio de Janeiro, II Muralist Bienal in Cali (Colombia) and others.

A child of a bustling city of contrast and colors, Rodrigo Branco‘s affinity for abstraction may come as no surprise. But his blurred portraits of local people in São Paulo, created using patches of colors and expressive strokes, are actual representations of what the artist used to see as a little kid. Raised in the southern outskirts of the city, Branco had a severe vision impairment that was left untreated for years.
