Chico Tabibuia

Descripción del Artista

Chico Tabibuia’s work is characterized by archetypal images with an eroticsacred content, influenced by Afro-Brazilian symbolic elements. Often depicting the central deity of Exu, his sculptures fuse male and female and present a creation process that can be considered to have a ritualistic and spiritual background, since they were often created from revelations the artist had in his dreams. In his works, ancestral and ritualistic elements can be seen both in the presence of the phallus and in the image of hermaphroditic beings, referring to archaic cultures, such as those of Dahomey and Nigeria, in which deities with stiff phalluses, symbolizing fertility, and hermaphrodites representing the dual aspect of generative power, recur.
