[EN]

One of the most influential artists in Brazilian art, Hélio Oiticica pioneered new aesthetic experiments that pushed the boundaries between life and art. One of the youngest members of the Frente Group and vital in neoconcretism, Oiticica challenged traditional notions of art by liberating color in space and making the viewer's participation essential in his work.

In 1954, Hélio Oiticica began his classes at the Curso Livre de Pintura at the Museu de Arte Moderna in Rio de Janeiro, run by Ivan Serpa, one of the founders and pioneers of the Grupo Frente, which Oiticica would soon also join. At the time, his works were structured in dynamic compositions of gouache and oil on cardboard, and dialogued with the concretist experiments of the time.

Um dos artistas mais influentes da arte brasileira, Hélio Oiticica foi pioneiro em novas experiências estéticas que tensionaram os limites entre a vida e a arte. Um dos mais jovens membros do Grupo Frente e vital no neoconcretismo, Oiticica desafiou as noções tradicionais de arte ao liberar a cor no espaço e tornar a participação do espectador essencial em seu trabalho.

Em 1954, Hélio Oiticica inicia suas aulas no Curso Livre de Pintura do Museu de Arte Moderna do Rio de Janeiro, ministrado por Ivan Serpa, um dos fundadores e pioneiros do Grupo Frente que Oiticica logo também participaria. À época, suas obras se estruturavam em composições dinâmicas de guache e óleo sobre cartão, e dialogavam com as experiências concretistas da época.
