ABOUT
|
Daniel Cabral is a multi-disciplinary visual artist based in Belgium. He has a contextual practice that is grounded on three main pillars: an investigation of the representations of masculinities and the male body (in particular concerning gay culture and cult of the body); secondly, a concern with entrepreneurship in art practice, inspired by a background in International Relations; lastly, a broad contextual conversation with the city and the notion of displacement initiated since immigrating from Brazil to Belgium in 2015. He works in drawing, watercolor, photo series, videos, interventions and performances. Before receiving a Master Degree in Visual Arts by Sint-Lucas School of Arts Antwerp in 2020, Daniel Cabral completed a B.A. in International Relations in 2012. Since then he studied Critical Theory at the University of the Arts London – UAL (UK, 2015) and worked as a watercolor instructor at the Museum of Modern Art – MAMAM, at Recife, Brazil (2013-2014). He participated in exhibitions such as the Lebanese Biennale of Art (MACAM, Alita, 2017); OVERPRINT (Centre de la Gravure et de l’Image imprimée, La Louvière, Belgium, 2018) and the Integrated Biennial of International Art & Design (De Singel, Antwerp, Belgium, 2019). In 2015, he was selected for the WARP Artist Village, promoted by the Bruges Triennial. In 2018, his publication "Tour Leopold II - A Guide to the Colonial Heritage of Europe" was nominated for the Prix Révélation Livre d'Artiste by the Multiple Art Days and ADAGP in Paris, France. And in 2020, he was the recipient to the AAIR Wild Card which awarded him with an art residency at AAIR, in Antwerp, Belgium, in 2021.
