Making visible the invisible: the relentless pursuit of Éder Oliveira
A hardened, joyless or constrained gaze, withered physique and unrevealed identity. Seen by society as outcasts, these are the individuals featured in Éder Oliveira’s paintings. Using the crime pages of newspapers as raw material, the painter gives identity to the anonymous characters who are seen as criminals, even if not found guilty of any wrongdoing.
