Narcélio Grud

Fortaleza, Ce
Narcélio Grud is an artist currently living and working in Fortaleza (Ceará), Brazil. Having made many seminal and groundbreaking contributions to both urban art and public installation art since the early 2000’s, his studio practise since 2018 focuses on sculpture, objects and works on paper that incorporate kinetic, sonic and interactive elements. His works use either sustainable or recycled materials, often use natural elements of light, wind and sound and are often also accompanied by an organic or spontaneous intervention in the surrounding space that further complicate and enrich the possibilities of his concrete abstraction. In Grud’s work, there finds a new and irreverent formalism - passed down from the Concrete and Neo-Concrete movements that were so important in the evolution of contemporary Brazilian art - but brought vitally and urgently into the present moment by proposing abstraction as a force for transformation. Either by incorporating movement and sound into sculptures made of materials traditionally seen as a fixed or static, or by inviting the participation of the viewer to complete his sculptures, Grud’s work proposes new possibilities of interaction and connection with the world at large. His work often examines and provokes new perspectives of our current reality of climate change and the widespread degradation of nature – always in the spirit of hope, promise, improvisation and with a knowledge of the wild, limitless intelligence contained within us and within the materials and elements with which he works. He has been the recipient of numerous art awards since 2007, and in recent years has had various major shows in Brazil and internationally, including at Galeria Choque Cultural (São Paulo, Brazil), The Museum of Image and Sound (Fortaleza, Brazil) and the Pinacoteca do Ceará (Fortaleza, Brazil). His work is included in various distinguished Brazilian public collections, including at Museu Niemeyer, Pinacoteca de Fortaleza, the state collections of Rio de Janeiro, Fortaleza, Rio das Ostras and Sobral, as well as the newly-inaugurated Parque das Esculturas (Espirito Santo, Brazil). The conceptual roots of Grud’s work have been inspired and informed by artists in the Brazilian Neoconcrete school, such as Lygia Clark and Lygia Pape. The work of Duchamp, Calder, Tinguely, Ives Klein, Olafur Olafsson and Richard Serra has also been formative. His recent work also demonstrates an affinity with the British sculptor Conrad Shawcross through Grud’s use of natural geometries and mathematical and mechanical systems.
