Túlio Pinto
Born 1974, Brazil
Túlio Pinto is a contemporary Brazilian artist living and working in Porto Alegre, Brazil. Playing with gravity, he explores subtle balance of weight and matter through installations and sculptures. Using materials of opposing nature and behavior, he translates the pulsation of the world of things to be reflected (also) in the world of human relations. Having only graduated from UFRGS with a degree in visual arts specializing in sculpture in 2009, Túlio is incredibly focused and prolific; He is also a co-founder and member of the Atelier Subterrânea. In the past decade the artist has created a distinct palette from which he creates: materials in their primordial forms, varied by their states of matter. Through this palette he reveals a material’s unseen potential in unexpected ways, conjuring striking juxtapositions between material and forces of gravity.

“Every piece refers to an internal game of forces established within themselves, and from them, with absolute, unreachable or ideal horizons, far beyond them, conjured from refractions or memories. They are part of a whole governed by the laws of the universe, which are also inside us.” – Angélica de Moraes, Systole and diastole of the landscape, ATHAR, 2018
