About the Item
Francisco Chico da Silva was born in 1910 in Alto Tejo, Brazil. He started his career in 1935 in the city of Fortaleza.
The artist grew up with north Brazil myths and was surrounded by the Amazonian fauna and flora. Indeed, the environment in which he evolved had probably influenced him. However, his work is not about real images, but a true product of his imagination.
The works of da Silva are also linked with Sub-Saharan art, thanks to the color field and the motifs employed, the motifs especially, being repetitive and taking a certain space on the canvas.
Chico da Silva is noted as one of the first Brazilian artists of Indigenous descent to achieve international recognition.His style and communal studio practice in the Pirambu neighborhood of Fortaleza have influenced contemporary Indigenous artists in Brazil, such as Denilson Baniwa and Jaider Esbell. His use of assistants and collective production in art was both innovative and controversial, challenging traditional notions of authorship in Brazilian modernism.Da Silva is the subject of a documentary produced by the Pinacoteca de São Paulo.
His works are part of the permanent collection at the Pinacoteca de São Paulo and have been recently acquired by major institutions such as the Tate in London and the Centre Pompidou in Paris.
Quoted from Wikipedia
Chico da Silva’s last museum exhibition took place in 2023 at the Pinacoteca de São Paulo.
