About The Artwork
The Daga Movement is a movement that wants to dialogue or not, to instigate hearts and minds that want to be instigated or not to instigate anything, but mainly to question the absurd age that we live in. The absurdities of today. Lack of love, madness, loneliness, failure, empty lives, frustration and blind hatred against everything and everyone, or who knows what. The madness taking over, all this and none of that, happening at the same time . Questioning technologies that instead of bringing us closer, it makes us further away. We are just numbers. Were we once people? I do not remember. What is the value of a life? What would Tristan Tzara, Hugo Ball and Hans Arp would say about our world so modern and so cold? So pointless ... Verbal or physical violence today is so commonplace ... The madness of the early twentieth century is the madness of the twenty-first century. Only names, rules and fashions are changed. Is a Banana with duct tape worth more than a painting? Is a giant rock in a Los Angeles museum a work of art? Do you accept a Merde d´Artiste? Madness runs wild. Brian Sewell, an art critic, once said about Conceptual Art: “It's new, but that doesn't make it art. It only makes a thing that silly people go to see. The Daga Movement wants to create the concept but also the product of the concept, it wants to boil brains and retinas. Long live the madness of crazy times or the lack of it! Long live to the love, poetry and the flower. Live the life! Good or badly lived. Long live the Daga!

Ita’s touch has a beautiful searching quality. The restless marks speed quickly in the peripheral elements so they may come together where his focus lies. He’s willing to leave parts hardly touched, in pursuit of what matters. In this way, he honors life in what is rendered flat by many artists. Clearly a passionate student of art history, we see Ita’s conversations with Rembrandt, Daumier, Picasso and many more in his fine explorations. His subjects are the ordinary moments. He says his city has little art culture, and that scarcity has fueled his craving of uncovering the beauty anywhere he can find it, with no false embellishment. We should all look forward to where his searching leads. - Text By Derek Gores, visual artist and designer. Ita Xavier is a painter, sculptor and designer from Soledade, born on the last day of 1975, whose distinctive characteristic is the experimentation with materials and techniques. It brings with it the perceptible and well-orchestrated aesthetic influence of Vik Muniz's unusual and stripped-down work, the critical aggressiveness of Marcel Duchamp with his readymades, the brilliant cubist exuberance of Picasso, the insane solitary perfection of Van Gogh and the fervent intensity of Henri Matisse, creating a particular and innovative dialogue with the history of art. Ita Xavier's works are the reflection of all his artistic restlessness and his constant search for new paths, which lead to a singular work with many faces, but always with the same provocative soul. -Text by Guilherme Fortes Berton, artist's friend
