Descripción del Artista

Rocha Pitta's diverse practice is connected to a deep fascination with the subtle transformations of the world around him - the slow erosion and alteration of desert terrain, the descent of a fog and the fluctuations of underwater formations. His installations, videos, and paintings have captured the vibrancy of a living planet by training the viewer's eye on the slow changes of materials, the physical progressions of miniscule particles of a land, and the sudden shifts in the weather. He was awarded the Marcantonio Vilaça Prize, Brazil (2005) and the Open Your Mind Prize, Switzerland (2009). In 2011, he entered the shortlist of the EFG Bank & ArtNexus Acquisition Award Nomination. In 2014, he participated in the artistic residency program Circulating AiR, organized by Stiftelsen 3,14, Norway. The artist held solo exhibitions at Museu de Arte da Pampulha, Belo Horizonte, Brazil (2002); Arts Initiative Tokyo, Japan (2008); Meyer Riegger, Karlsruhe, Germany (2009); ...
