Newton Rocha

Newton Rocha is a self-taught painter, born in 1968 at Recife, Pernambuco State, Brazil. Recife was built as a port city along tropical, white sand beaches lined up with palm trees, where coconut water and cactus flowers co-exist. This masterpiece of nature contradictions inspired Newton’s art as a translation of nature contrast in art form that synthesizes influences of Dali, Kandinsky, Miro and along with all his experiments and researches and creates an extemporaneous essence of art that belongs to artist himself.
He depicts distorted figures and extravagant colors melted in an abstraction that insinuates the facts of his surrounding reality; regional dreams and fantasies of familiar scenes, local characters and popular events. Newton Rocha’s originality and creativity portraits the man and his roots, while at the same time projects him into the cosmos of the contemporary world with a strange mixture of strength and simplicity that makes his paintings alive with a sense of invasion in observer’s mind that confuses and resolves itself in definition. This complex ambiguity is the magic combination that best defines Newton Rocha and his art; A Man, The World and his Contradictions.
