PIECES OF BERLIN IN SAO PAULO


Last week I went to a tasteful friends house in Sao Paulo and got to know the art of brazilian Sandro Akel. I identified myself instantly with his work, that mixes collage, reuse of garbage, painting and other materials, such as candle wax.
Sandro makes art putting together posters that he collects around in Berlin, and transforms them into amazing pieces. Approaching the canvas, you start going into the before-hidden details. Just like Germany's capital. Beside the collages, Sandro is also part of the audiovisual collective Bijari.
For those who’d like to see with their own eyes, the artist will be exposing in Mendes Wood Gallery, in the center of São Paulo, starting on the 17 of october.
