THIAGOVASC.
SERIES
MEMORIES
2017-2019
In his first series of individual paintings, Thiago explores sets of important memories from his childhood to early adulthood. The process starts with listing and grouping the memories and then translating them into colors, shapes, symbols and gestures that come to your mind to represent the feeling that each memory awakens.
CATHCPHRASES
2018
In a playful complement to the Memories series, the artist recalls phrases that marked his relationship with friends and family throughout his life. They are catchphrases with specific stories and meanings, which are understandable for those who repeated it.
SYMMETRIC DEBATE
2018
Collaboration between friends Thiago Vasc. and Felipe Yuzo, the Symmetric Debate is a great reflective journey on the symmetry of things beyond the question of imagery, adding a perspective of a dialectical, intangible symmetry. The intense conversations are accompanied by movements in painting that reveal the meaning of their reflections.
MONSTERS
2020-2021
In his most recent works, Thiago explores the monsters that represent the traumas that haunt him in his nightmares.
BURNOUT
2019-2021
The artist's most complex works depict the aftermath of a burnout, a professional exhaustion associated with work-related stress, while he was managing the menswear line of the century-old Brazilian fashion brand Hering. The works full of colors and intensity were created shortly after the burnout, made of discarded materials that the artist found along his way. In a second moment, when the artist falls into depression after being fired without a second chance or any accountability on the part of the company, the works are painted black, portraying the process of overcoming the negative memories of the work experience.
