Open through July 27th, André Ricardo is in the group exhibition Beyond Color at Simōes de Assis in Curitiba, Brazil.
" The four masters gathered here, Alfredo Volpi, André Ricardo, Gonçalo Ivo and Ione Saldanha, know the gift of making blue sing in the joyful conversation with pink, in the cerebral interaction with green, in the deep and serious confrontation with red. They are among the greatest colorists in Brazilian art. They are masters at making them a material surface, such as Volpi and André Ricardo, the latter one trained in the lesson of the former, in unraveling textures and organicity, such as Ione Saldanha, or listening to the music score of its infinite nuances, like Gonçalo Ivo."
-Fernanda Pitta, Senior Curator at Pinacoteca do Estado de São Paulo and Lecturer in the History of Art at the Escola da Cidade, in São Paulo
