The Famous Cousin



By now everybody should know that Castelinho38 is supporting ART in all its expressions and our gallery is always open for a visit, but probably most of you ignore that we have a very special and famous cousin.



Marcos Chaves is today, together with other few, the Contemporary Artist representing Brazil all over the world, and last time we have met Marcos in Paris, just coming back from his Madrid and Lisbon opening. But as normally happens, here at home it is rare to see his works, even though we heard he s been busy in Sao Paulo lately.



So finally the day has come at OI FUTURO and Castelinho38 was there at his opening last saturday in a very crowded and special night. The name of the exhibition is E' DA SUA NATUREZA( It s of its nature) and we strongly recommend you to visit it until the 29th of June, from tuesday to sunday 11h to 20hs.



Of course we are not going to tell you what is it about but from the pictures in this post and the title of the expo you can understand by yourself it s about nature. More specifically it s the nature through Marcos eye and its sometimes funny way of representing itself



It s important to say that we are not at all Art experts and to tell you the truth were a bit nervous to write about such an important and very well known artist. But then we realized that Marcos Chaves is a great character and our "famous" cousin as well, so we are pretty sure he won't mind us taking him as an example.



Mr Chaves was born and bread in Santa Teresa and we are still hoping one day, in between Basel and Rome, to have him and his works in our little gallery....you never know, be sure we are already working on it.
