The theme of this new work has everything to do with music.

It presents a new development of my work, where I delve into abstract painting. I worked from experimentation, painting the canvases like someone playing in a jazz band by pure improvisation. That's why the title of the exhibition is Jam Session.

I have great affinity with jazz, blues and instrumental music. Styles where improvisation is the creative process itself.

At the opening of the expo we had a Jam between the musicians Marcelinho da Lua, Edu Neves and Guto Wirtti who made some sound experiments at the vernissage that took place on May 12, 2022 at Artur Fidalgo Galeria.

In the LINHA LIVRE exhibition, he has presented works of different techniques and phases. The paintings made with acrylic paint have canvases that show the evolution and research with paintings from my personal collection from 2012 to the last canvases painted this year at the studio in the interior of Rio. I also present watercolors, all painted this year. Additionally I also present works on ceramics, which are the result of years of work in the studio of Professor Sonia Saraiva.

Street River is a very special project, taking place in the Amazon and taking urban art to the riverside people of Ilha do Combú, located on the Guamá River in front of Belém do Pará.

Created by Sebá Tapájos, the Street River Institute goes beyond the initiative of bringing art to Combú Island, its main intention is to bring attention to the condition of the riverside people who live mainly from what they extract from the river and the forest. Through partnerships with companies and NGOs, the project can make improvements to the site, such as the implementation of ecological toilets, distribution of filters to make drinking water and even the installation of solar panels to capture energy for the local school, since the lack of light is something evident in the place.

Bruno Big was invited to be part of the team of artists who participated in the event in June 2018. Among them, artists from several places in Brazil and one from Germany. He had the pleasure of painting the house of a family where Bob and Sara, parents of 4 boys, live. Arthur, the youngest, was the artist's main assistant. The father builds boats and it was his request to create a hammer shark on the side of the house where he works. On the other side, the panel symbolizes the family and the upbringing of children.

The experience and immersion in the local culture make Street River a unique art event, where artists and local people exchange and interact very closely. Learning is immense and ends up influencing artists in their creations and lives.

Filipe Ret is among the most prominent carioca rappers on the national scene. Considered a phenomenon on social networks and on stages, the young man was just another brand on the city walls, until the then graffiti artist became known in the fights of MC's in Lapa.

With sharp verses, this Catete offspring has been conquering its territory, mixing the language of the streets with a somewhat philosophical touch and calling the attention of names that inspired him.

For the clip of his song “Chief of the Perfect Crime”, the artist asked that a special outfit be made, with the stamp signed by Bruno Big.
