Biography

JARBAS LOPES (Nova Iguaçu, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, 1964) lives and works in Maricá, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and graduated in Sculpture by the Escola de Belas Artes da Universidade Federal of Rio de Janeiro.

His multifaceted body of work employs several mediums in sculpture, installation, drawing, photography, performance and public art projects.

The performative aspects of his work emphasizes the idea of the journey through collaborative projects or interactive works. Everyday and ephemeral materials are frequently used and reconfigured by hand, as a form of resistance to mass production processes.

The resulting objects often combine a sculptural character and a sensory appeal with functionality of use, calling upon the spectator participation and operative action, towards the dissolution between art and life, object and spectator, thus questioning the limits of authorship.

Jarbas Lopes exhibits since the 1990’s.
