Brazil x All the Others

Brazil x All the Others
JVICTTOR
Artist presents Brazilian football on canvases and screen prints, playing with proportions and
exaggerations to express the excitement of a great final.
The pieces that make up the Brazil x All the Others series are the result of years of trips to the
Maracanã Stadium, of the joys and sorrows of football, of Cups, videotapes, TV shows, radio
broadcasts, sports newspapers, and even of discussions with friends. A selection of scenes in
which players from countries all around the world defy Brazil in a showdown to put in evidence
the legendary hegemony of Brazilian football.
JVicttor brings to his canvases and prints all the images he collected in his imagination since he
first put a foot on a soccer ball. The sport that fascinates him is presented in a fantastic universe
where he plays with proportions and exaggerations to put into evidence feelings such as
adrenaline, anxiety, and excitement that alternate or occur simultaneously during a grand final.
In 2014, the year in which the World Cup celebrates football in Brazil, JVicttor presents at the
Patricia Costa Gallery, in Copacabana, 3 canvases in acrylic on linen and launches the Brazil x All
the Others print album. The “On The Field of The Arts” group exhibition is scheduled for June and
includes works by Rubens Gerchman, Luiz Aquila, Augusto Herkenhoff and Nelly Gutmacher.
"My first drawings were of football fan flags in Maracanã, at age 11. This
work is the opportunity to give back to football the emotions and beauty
it gave me." JVicttor
