Description

The "Slices" series displayed in the São Paulo office was given this title, because the artist wondered what it would be like to "slice" a mathematical painting using a thick layer of paint. From this slicing, images that were previously hidden inside would be revealed: "Blue popcorn is blue popcorn; The jacket is camouflaged with interpenetrating shapes; The image of the match suggests solidified fire; the image of a cigar smoker came to my mind, and Heitor Villa-Lobos was honoured."
