About The Artwork

This painting is part of the series "Heroínas do Norte de Minas e Heróis Caboclos" Heroines from Northern Minas and Caboclo Heroes, exhibited in a solo exhibition at the Regional Museum of Northern Minas Gerais, Brazil, in July 2023. Seu Zé (Firmina's husband) owned a small farm, where vegetables and fruits were produced. Seu Zé also raised pigs but never managed to kill any of them. He would be in such pain just by the thought of killing them, that he would give it up. After much reflection, he decided to sell only vegetables and fruits, and the pigs kept him company.

M. Petrone (b. 1975, Brazil) To Petrone, painting is a means through which re-thinking culture is suggested to the viewer. His figurative studies reject historically imposed aesthetics and focus on abbreviations of human routines, laid out on canvas, waiting to be studied, to be analysed. They are echoes of cultures, but culture can mean nothing at all, if in its representation one cannot see oneself rightfully depicted. Petrone tries to achieve revised ways of human representation in his paintings, and his approach to storytelling gazes at the unsung heroes and heroines of his culturally and linguistically hybrid upbringing, reflecting upon the rich, colourful and diverse elements they carry with them. Naturally attracted to painting figurative expressionism and narratives, Petrone visits the beautiful and the happy, as well as the eerie and the grotesque in his artwork. He has been featured in Artist Talk Magazine, British Vogue and Brazilian Newspapers. Petrone works and lives in London, United Kingdom.
