An exhibition of unique, hand embellished prints by internationally-renowned Brazilian painter, Romero Britto, will be on display at The Royal Exchange from next week.

The artwork will be showcased at Castle Fine Art located within the Royal Court Entrancefrom Monday 19th August until Friday 6th September.

‘Brazilian‐born and Miami‐made’, Britto truly established his distinct style at the age of 20 after he travelled to Paris and became inspired by Picasso and Matisse. This trip gave rise to his characteristic aesthetic—bright and bold pop art creations.

Today, his work is widely celebrated. Having exhibited in 30 countries across four continents and collaborated with some of the most famous global brands including Coca-Cola, Bentley and Disney, Britto has captivated audiences worldwide.

Romero Britto said: “Art can make you look at something in an exciting and totally different way. It can give you the power to fly.”

Katrina Aris, gallery manager at Castle Fine Art, The Royal Exchange, said: “Romero’s feel-good art is filled with warmth, optimism and love, so it’s no surprise that it is recognised all over the world.

“The opportunity to see the exhibition is one not to be missed and we can’t wait to welcome visitors to the gallery to learn about his collections and appreciate the artwork in person.”
