Timeless Drug Indicated for Utopians - Edition of 1 Sculpture

Rogério Reis is based in Brasilia and Washington DC. He develops a language in contemporary sculpture, entitled Morphoses, a concept that resulted in a Manifesto about transformation and utopia (see Manifesto: ). “Morphoses is the instant of transformation, the turning point (Fritjof Capra) in which something is perceived as another, in a world that absolutely everything is transformed (Lavoisier), where nothing is static, not even this planet and the infinite cosmos that pulsate. Morphosis are hidden fragments and vectors that support reality, in the decisions and crossroads that build the real. They are like codes or an invisible alphabet of living matter, as in the myth of Plato's cave, where the Real is a projection of something earlier. The Real is not figurative, it is a fluid, abstract, organic and curved force”. The author approaches the nature of the world and the individual as a spiritual crossing and revolution. Artist with identification in Brasília, his forms are influenced by Niemeyer's curves and the city's utopia. In Brazil, his language is closer to Tomie Ohtake and abroad to Anish Kapoor. In 2018, a historic sculpture was installed at the Superior Court of Justice in Brasília, on the recent and profound transformations in Brazil, where the judiciary was a decisive actor. “Slave Ship Entering into Land-with-Evils” is a metaphor and a dialogue with the History of Brazil, the bad customs of the foundation, the Iberian and African heritage, the black robes of the judges, the civilizing bias of the judiciary, the roots and the dream of the "country of the future" . It was installed in one of Niemeyer's large buildings. The work of art summarizes the spirit of this time and brings together the characteristics to be perceived as a symbol of this time. Perhaps the sculture best contribution is as a legacy for the world, by empowering a culture that brings an important message about the harmony between Men and Nature, which will be a guide for the future. A culture that was defined by endemic corruption has no way of leading or passing on any relevant message.
