Paris: Noted art collector Rothschild Oliver presented the Creativity and Inspiration collection by Brazilian contemporary artist Romero Britto at the 2010 Stellar Exposition staged at the Carrousel de Louvre, a shopping mall lodged in the basement of the famous Louvre Museum in the French capital.
Romero Britto (Recife, 1963) unveiled his first exhibition back in 1979 at the headquarters of the U.S. Organization in Brasilia. In 1989, Absolute Vodka proposed him to be a part of its artist portfolio that included such names as Andy Warhol, Keith Haring and Ed Ruscha.
Since then, Britto’s work has showed up in over seventy exhibits mounted in major museums of London, Stockholm, Madrid and Tokyo. His sculptures are scattered in such major locations as the JFK Airport in New York and London’s Hyde Park. In Mexico he’s permanently exhibiting in a place called Britto Mexico in Polanco.
Connoisseurs of his artworks say that one of his many virtues is the ability to make the public rivet its attention on the works by relying on intense coloring and a stylistic combination that sways between Pop and cubism.
Faithful to his philosophy that “art is far too important so as to not share it,” Romero Britto is engaged in a remarkable humanitarian effort for organizations like the International Red Cross.
