ARTIST BIOGRAPHY
Acidum Project is a dynamic Brazilian art collective based in Fortaleza, Ceará. Founded in 2006 by Tereza and Robézio, known artistically as AC/D1, their work features large-scale, vibrant murals that explore themes of knowledge and humanity.
Acidum celebrates the experimentalist genre through a diverse range of urban art forms, including murals, graffiti, design, stencil work, audio-visual projects, and exhibitions. The duo utilizes vivid colours to capture the vitality of contemporary life in their pieces, which often feature bold applications of colour to obscure characters and graphic patterns. They challenge conventional notions of space, creating art that may initially appear sterile but, with closer engagement, reveals an intricate tapestry of idiosyncratic symbols and experiences that form a decipherable image.
Acidum Project has left a significant mark on the international art scene following their vibrant contribution to Montreal’s MURAL festival in 2016 where they curated “REMIX,” an exhibition showcasing 12 artists from diverse backgrounds. This project, as described, involved artists “(mixing) different influences… to create new combinations,” reflecting Acidum Project’s innovative approach.
The duo’s influence is particularly profound in their home country, Brazil, where their extensive exhibitions have enriched the urban landscape and cultural narrative. Their reach extends globally, with notable projects in Canada, France, London, and Rio De Janeiro. In 2021, their seven Middle Eastern murals garnered attention from Egyptian newspaper Ootmista. Their international mural series, “Art Series Acidum,” launched in 2022, further cemented their global presence. Additionally, their collaboration with Parko that year brought their unique aesthetic to the fashion world.
Acidum Project continues to draw inspiration from their travels and cultural heritage, infusing their studio work and urban art with a dynamic blend of modernity and history.
