Cartel Construções

Cartel Construções is an artistic collective from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Started by artists _ecardo5o and Juliana Cabeza, Cartel's works explore the universe of pop culture and urban art through a unique look - always full of humor, chaotic, dark and explosive.

At Cartel we believe that art should be part of people's lives. So we try to explore different supports. Often using consumer products as a vehicle.

In this way, we believe we are in a constant movement to form new audiences. Purifying the massified look and bringing new aesthetic experiences that we are used to seeing only in galleries and museums for a wider and more dispersed audience.

After all, we live in the age of technical reproducibility. In the virtual tide of the post-real. Our art surfs this wave, connecting hearts and minds, wherever they are. That is why we use the image as creation DNA. The archetypes of different cultures and traditions. All this to build a universe of stories and meanings that are beyond our linguistic and cultural bunkers.
