Luiz Sacilotto
Luis Sacilotto, born in Brazil, 1924, was a founding member of the seminal Grupo Ruptura (founded 1952) one of the two important concrete groups in Brazil formed in the same year after the first São Paulo Bienal. LoCALA has two paper works by Luis Sacilotto, bought from his atelier through the Jorge Mara La Ruche Gallery. Despite their abstracted formality and beautifully contoured appearance, thin pencil marks can still be seen to distinguish the position of the visual elements.
Luis Sacilotto began working with geometric forms, exploring optical phenomena in painting and sculpture when this was a complete innovation, and continues to do so now.
Concretism was the precursor to op art in Brazil. He is one of the pioneers of concrete art in Brazil, a movement that considered the union of art and industry as ideal. He passed through an early expressionist phase before his work in architecture and the influence of his peers led him to develop a constructivist abstract style, and later to explore op art.
