ARTIST BIOGRAPHY
Acidum Project is a dynamic Brazilian collective from Fortaleza-Ce City. It was created in 2006, by Tereza and Robézio alias AC / D1. Their work showcases large and colourful murals on the themes of knowledge and humanity.
Acidum celebrates the experimentalist genre through a mycelium of urban art including, murals, graffiti, design, stencilwork, audio visual projects and exhibitions. The duo plays with vivid colour to imbue the vitality of contemporary life in their pieces applied brashly to obscure characters and graphic patterns. They subvert the notion of space creating art that may be initially viewed as sterile, but with discerned engagement can be seen as an interweaving of idiosyncratic symbols and experiences that produces a decipherable image.
In Montreal, the duo left their colourful mark on the local landscape through their collaboration with the 2016 edition of the MURAL festival. REMIX is the second part of this joint exhibition, featuring the works of 12 artists hailing from Belgium, Spain, Germany, the UK, the US, and Canada. Of that project it was said, “(the contributing artists) mixing different influences, objects or references, each artist uses different techniques and materials, skewing their original meaning to create new combinations of different systems, often borrowing from Art History.”
Acidum Project has exhibited extensively in Brazil, as well as Canada, France, London and Rio De Janeiro. Their contribution to the cultural framework of Brazil is vast and has successfully added to the art culture narrative of the urban landscape there to high acclaim. In 2021 Acidum Project featured in Egyptian Newspaper Ootmista regarding seven public Murals they completed over two months throughout the Middle East including Cairo and Lebanon. In 2022 the ‘Art Series Acidum’, an international mural series the collective conceived commenced in Sofia Bulgaria followed by Paris France. In the same year the duo launched a collaboration with fellow Cearan creative clothing designer Parko, bringing their cultural and vivid elemental to the fashion streets. The pair continue to infuse the sensory modernity of travel and the historical undertones of their culture to inform both their studio work and urban art.
