Emerging voice in contemporary sculpture from Ceará, Brazil.
Narcélio Grud (b.1976, Fortaleza, Brazil) is an emerging figure in contemporary sculpture whose studio practice focuses on sculpture, objects and works on paper that incorporate kinetic, sonic and interactive elements. His works explore the extended plastic possibilities of steel and wood, often incorporating natural elements of light, wind and sound and are often also accompanied by an organic or spontaneous intervention that further enrich the possibilities of his concrete abstraction. Either by incorporating movement, sound or unusual plastic manipulation into sculptures made of materials traditionally seen as fixed or static, or by inviting the participation of the viewer, Grud’s work proposes new possibilities of connection with the world at large.
