Claudio Tozzi's Iridescent Journey Explored in Dual Exhibition at Blombô Gallery
The artistic journey of Claudio Tozzi is explored in a simultaneous exhibition, both in-person and online, at Blombô Gallery, under the curation of Rafael Vogt Maia Rosa. This showcase emphasizes Tozzi's engagement with color and his politically charged pieces from the 1960s and 1970s. Notably, a series from the 1980s employs fast-drying acrylics, exemplifying a distinctive pointillism that informs the exhibition's title, 'O Percurso Iridescente: Claudio Tozzi.' The virtual exhibit draws connections between works such as 'Multidão' (1968) and 'Maio 68/Maio 98,' while the physical display features six artworks. Tozzi expresses a revived interest in his politically motivated pieces from the 1960s and comments on the evolution of his recent quarantine creations, which have transitioned to metallic, monochromatic hues.
