Embaixadores da Alegria 2012 - Samba Parade

The Ambassadors of Joy is a Samba School that works mainly with physical deficients, and they're the first School to appear in the Samba Champion's Parade during Rio de Janeiro Carnival.

This year of 2012 I was called to make their Oppen Wing giant flags. They're a 5.5x5.5m work made over a thin tissue, showing an abstract painting which mixtures different country's flags - country's that participate in the paraolympics games.

Mural na Fundação Roberto Marinho

Here there some images of my part of the mural made at Roberto Marinho Foundation in Rio. It's a 7 meters tall painting and 6 meters large and worked together with Julia Viterbo (Suav) and my sister Diana Rosa.

I was the project coordinator as well and I invited 13 other artists to participate: Airá , Akuma, Anarkia, Br, Julia Suav, Joana Cesar, Lya Alves, Cacá, Kajaman, Piá, Di Couto, Tahian, Denne. Also 20 girls participated as assistants, through Nami network indication.

There's also a short making off video made by Estudio Pira : http://vimeo.com/39059829

Exposição de Vanessa Rosa e Julia Viterbo!

A abertura foi no dia 5 de novembro, durando até o final do mesmo mês, no Centro Cultural Maria Teresa Vieira.

Rua da Carioca 85, uma festa exposição realizada no dia 4 de novembro.

Julia Viterbo e Vanessa Rosa são artistas urbanas que trabalham sobretudo com pinturas nas ruas, mas elas estão longe de serem típicas artistas de grafite - não se limitam a um estilo, ao contrário, procuram seus próprios caminhos quando se trata de ocupar artisticamente ruas ou interiores. Julia tem uma forte tendencia a abstração enquanto Vanessa é obsecada em desenhar pessoas, passando longas horas em lugares públicos desenhando aqueles que passam. A exposição "Rua da Carioca 85" usa o endereço do Centro de Arte Maria Teresa Vieira como seu próprio nome, sugerindo que as pinturas mostradas são uma continuação da rua afora. E tal é a impressão do observador quando se entra no espaço da galeria, o qual é diretamente aberto para a rua, estando no mesmo nivel desta. A exposição apresenta pinturas feitas com spray sobre um delicado papel transparente, revelando imagens feitas a partir dos desenhos de Vanessa da rua da Carioca, porém subvertidas pelas linhas e ritmo de Julia. A pintura de 7 metros e a outra de 5 metros são estendidas por fios de luz, não estando apoiadas na parede - elas formam um corredor cuja transparencia permite um efeito de vitral, como se fossem espécies de janelas para olhar a cidade. A abertura dessa mostra se deu na forma de uma festa aberta a todos, começando as 19:30, durando até a cerveja acabar. Pista de dança, pipoqueiro, música e muito espaço.

English version

Julia and Vanessa are urban artists who work mostly painting in the streets, but they're far from being typicall graffiti artists - they don't limit themselves to a style, on the contrary, they search their own paths when it comes to artistically occuping the streets or an interior. Julia has a strong tendence towards abstraction while Vanessa is obsseced in drawing people, passing long hours in public spaces drawing whoever passes by. Both are very young, under 25, being part of a new generation of urban artists in Rio who have been changing the faces of the city's neglected walls and surroundings. Such daring attitude from those new artists already started to have some highly positive answers from the city : not only urban artists started to be valued by the art market but also many of them now have institutional help to develop social projects, using street art to discuss common problems or to give value to places that are usually seen as if they had none, even by the it's own inhabitants.

Julia Viterbo and Vanessa Rosa are part of those who try to use their art to give value to places and work in social projects, like Rede Nami - a feminist urban art network that puts the fight against domestic violence as it's main problem altogether with the artistic quality of urban interventions.

The exhibition "Carioca Street 85" uses the address of the Maria Teresa Vieira Art Center as it's name, suggesting that the pictures shown are a continuation of the street outside. And so is the impression of the observer when one enters the gallery space, which is directly opened to the street being at the same level of it. The exhibition shows paintings made with spray can over a very delicate transparent paper, revealing images made from Vanessa's drawings of Carioca's street subverted by Julia's lines and rhythm. The 7 meters painting and the other one of 5 meters are supported by light threads, not being attached to the wall - they form a corridor and the transparent paper becomes a kind of strained glass, a metaphor for the cities windows. Curated by another artist Otavio Avancini.

The Art Center Maria Teresa Vieira was delighted to present such work, made specifically for it's gallery.
