ABOUT
Daniel Cabral has a contextual practice that responds to his surroundings through a wide range of mediums, varying from drawing, collage, photography and video to installations, interventions in the public space and performances. His practice is based on three main pillars: an investigation of the male body and the representation of masculinities (in particular concerning gay culture and cult of the body); secondly, a concern with speech, inspired by a background as public speaker in International Relations; and lastly, a broad contextual conversation with the city and the sense of displacement initiated since he immigrated from Brazil to Belgium in 2015. Conceptually his works explore notions of authorship, appropriation and context. Interested in found images, he transforms and repurposes imagery that may come from social media, online archives, the streets and even from his own personal archive built over years working as audio-visual producer.
Before earning a Master Degree in Visual Arts by Sint Lucas School of Arts Antwerp, Daniel Cabral completed a B.A. in International Relations in 2012. Since then he studied Critical Theory at Chelsea College of Arts, London - UK (2015) and worked as a painting instructor at the Museum of Modern Art at Recife, Brazil (2013-2014). He participated in exhibitions such as OVERPRINT (Centre de la Gravure et de l’Image imprimée, La Louvière, 2018) and the Lebanese Biennale of Art (MACAM, Alita, 2017). In 2015, he was selected for the WARP Artist Village, promoted by the Bruges Triennial. And 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. Born in Recife, Brazil (1989). Lives and works in Brussels, Belgium. |
