Description:
“Since 1998 Araujo has been dedicated to artistic appropriations. He began by creating paintings which investigated the history of art by reproducing artists’ work found in books, catalogues and online. From 2004 he has engaged with architectural subjects which exemplify Latin American modernism, such as Oscar Niemeyer’s “Casa das Canoas” (1953) in Rio de Janeiro, Lina Bo Bardi’s “Casa de Vidro” (1951) in Sao Paulo, and the Luis Barragán house (1948) in Mexico City.”
