Antonio Dias

Bio

Antonio Dias was born in 1944 in Campina Grande, in Brazil’s northwest region. He lived and worked between Milan, Italy, and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, having also lived in France, Austria and Germany. Dias died in 2018 in Rio de Janeiro. His works have been exhibited in several institutions all over the world.

Statement

Antonio Dias began his career in the 60s, producing political criticism in the form of paintings, drawings and assemblages, typical of Neo Figurativism. His practice is entwined by the legacy of the Neo-concrete and an early awareness of the revolutionary impetus of Tropicália. During his self-exile in Paris after subtle criticism from the Brazilian military dictators, he got in touch with Arte Povera. In the European context, he increasingly turned to abstraction, transforming his style.
