Jazz ao Centro '13

This one was made in Coimbra, in Jazz ao Centro Festival '13 (Organized by JACC). Not only from musicians is made a music festival. Here is a drawing from people sat in the audience in one of the concerts in Salão Brazil. The garnet head is Mafalda Costa and the white one is Rui Neves. People in connection through music.

Carlos Zíngaro & Carlos Santos

Made this drawing live at Museu do Chiado garden: Jardim das esculturas (Sculpture Garden). The place is full of Art in statues all over it. I was totally inspired to draw the musicians as statues too.

The concert was organized by MNAC-Museu do Chiado, in partnership with Filho Único and CML-EGEAC.

ReMoTeImPLoV - Paragon for Chance CD Cover

PARAGON FOR CHANCE

The idea took shape over nearly ten years of experience in free improvisation and musical wanderings by South America and Europe.

Prototype for routes to be followed in a borderless world, brings into focus the multiple connections and possibilities for dialogue between artistic languages ​​supposedly distant.

Each guest composer was given the task of sending me a totally improvised solo piece, only restriction being the maximum time established. No reference was given, unless the information that subsequently the pieces would overlap randomly by me.

The result of this adventure confirms expectations that both trouble me for years:

To paraphrase the late magus Décio Pignatari,

“Only the new structure is new meaning. And new action.”

Tablecloth

This piece make part of my work process, when I’m painting. Over time, I started collecting these paper tablecloths. As if I was dining in a restaurant and painted over the tables, on the placemats textured paper.

These paper tablecloths are my scenario, my sponge, my bleed, my stamps, ink pot and palette to color tests.
