Robson Cezar was born in the city of Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil. After spending years living and working all over South America, he made his way to New York to study art in the 1990s and attended the School of Visual Arts and the Art Students’ League in Manhattan. He exhibited some work in group shows at this time. After the events of 9/11 he chose to leave North America and make his home in Europe. Between 2002-7 he lived in the West of England creating a body of work - paintings, prints, sculpture and film. He was awarded a first class degree in Fine Art by the University of Plymouth and won the Natalie Sitar Award for outstanding achievement. He is now living in London and having completed a Post Graduate at Chelsea College of Art in 2008, he was appointed to a Sculpture Fellowship there in 2009. He curated a show at Decima Gallery in Hackney Wick of work by fellow Chelsea Graduates in 2008 entitled “Condensation” and in 2009, another “Condensation” at the Bodhi Gallery, Brick Lane. Most recently, he curated“Saludos Amigos - Latin American Artists in London” at the Outside World Gallery in Shoreditch.

A one night guerilla show at the Hanbury Hall SALUDOS AMIGOS 2010 Latin American Artists in London, Thursday June 3rd, 5-10pm. Hanbury Hall, 22A Hanbury St, (off Brick Lane) E1 6QR In the 1940s Walt Disney travelled to Rio to make SALUDOS AMIGOS a pop portrait of Latin America, now Brazilian artist Robson Cezar is gathering together South American artists here in London to create a new SALUDOS AMIGOS as a contemporary representation of the heterogeneous cultures that comprise the continent today. With Brazil one of the world’s rising economies and with East London as a cultural magnet for Latin American artists ever since Helio Oiticica staged TROPICALIA at the Whitechapel in 1967, the time is ripe to present a selection of the lively work being created by these individuals here and now. Robson Cezar was responsible for the first SALUDOS AMIGOS that attracted capacity attendances at the Outside World Gallery in Redchurch St and was widely publicised. Building on this success, SALUDOS AMIGOS 2010, this year’s one-night-guerilla-exhibition, will be held on 3rd June at the much larger Hanbury Hall - the First Thursday in the month when all the galleries open late and thousands of gallery-goers descend upon the East End.
