Brazilian artist Rafael Silveira's latest exhibition, Agricultura Cósmica, showcases his unique blend of beauty and the bizarre through a series of surreal oil paintings. Opening on June 12 at DCG Contemporary in London, the exhibition invites viewers to engage with the depths of the subconscious, where traditional portraiture morphs into whimsical and unsettling forms. Silveira's work features vivid depictions where faces transform into nature, revealing a playful yet eerie exploration of identity. Drawing from pop surrealism, his art evokes a garden of thoughts, planting seeds of imagination that challenge perception and provoke deep reflection.
In Silveira's universe, the mind becomes a garden, and each thought is a seed that sprouts into something uncanny.
Across a series of richly detailed oil paintings and intricately sculpted frames, Silveira conjures visages that play with recognition and abstraction, whimsy and discomfort.
