“Codex Romulensis”: Romulo Cesar<\/p>\n

Romulo C\u00e9sar\u2019s work carries signs of automatic writing and obsession. Attractive and repellant, fascinating and disturbing, each of his works reveals in a brutal fashion the hidden part of the \u201ccarnal envelope\u201d. Each work comprises an aesthetic of shock and of debilitation; they reveal an inner world that reproduces itself, built from improbable mutations and gastric enzymes. Even the colours themselves seem to violate the space: an eruption of acid paint in expressive gestures from which emerge jets, grooves and ribs that repeatedly shove up against each other, systematic and compulsive marks.<\/p>\n

We can see how the work blurs the strict definitions of inside and outside, healthy and unhealthy, attractive and repulsive.<\/p>\n

Romulo C\u00e9sar was born in Rio de Janeiro. He lives and works in Vancouver, after having spent a few years in Montr\u00e9al. He attended the Fine Arts Academy of Rio de Janeiro from 2003 to 2005, and went on to pursue self-expression outside the academic\u00a0system. He has shown his work in underground venues and at Montreal’s Monastiraki Gallery.<\/p>\n
