Maxwell Alexandre
Born in Rio de Janeiro, Brasil, 1990
Lives and works in Rio de Janeiro, Brasil
The artist’s urban poetics consists of the construction of narratives and scenes structured from his daily experiences in the city and in Rocinha, where he lives and works. On different supports like canvases of Capri pools, doors and iron frames emerge anonymous personages in situations recurrent in the favela. They are large-format paintings in which the black bodies are presented in an empowered way, but also in moments of confrontation with the police, portraying a radically contemporary community routine.
