Julio Meiron

Julio graduated in fine arts from the University of São Paulo with specialization in sculpture. His works were shown in the Santos Biennual, Latin America Culture House in Brasilia, Art Context of Santo André (where he was awarded) and many other art exhibition. One of his recent work caused a controversial reaction during its passage in Brazilian Senate house.

He is one of the first artists who was selected as member of the Yellow Atelier-Residence in the city of São Paulo. Actually working for São Paulo State Secretariat of Culture, in Culture Promotion department; he also has experience as art educator and researcher (Contemporary Art Museum and Brazil Bank Cultural Center, Itaú Cultural, etc.).

Julio develops projects which go from sculpture, drawings, installations and diverse other supports. Traditionally a sculpture has deep, height and width, but Julio tries to use a forth dimension which is not material, the time. Time not only as a linear narrative of the visitor in front of an object but also, in the memory of this visitor who was in front of the art object.

Julio Meiron and Deyson Gilberthave been researching together a series of work called „Alcochoando“, which will be an inspiration taken to the Rio São Francisco. As a three dimensional painting, these works are a type of intervention with objects in specific spaces. Making a place soft with this yellow foam and other materials chosen by chance, as chairs, walls, some others from the landscape, compositions are formed as well as strange groups in contrast with the remaining ones in the landscape. Traveling to the São Francisco region, Julio and Deyson will be making a symbolic trip back home, to Minas Gerais and Pernambuco. The yellow foam is related to the comfort of home as well as biologic structures, outter and inner spaces, public and private. So Julio and Deyson will rap several elements of the boat and of the landscape as the boat keeps on going.
