Visual art that never ceases to puzzle and surprise its multitude of spectators, this approach has been the case with multi-disciplinary artist, Humberto Hermeto, whose career in art, design, and architecture has won him several great acclaims. The artist has been in the gallery’s collection since 2019 and for the first time, residents and visitors of New York will be able to attend his solo exhibition.

Held at Saphira & Ventura Gallery, curator Alcinda Saphira accentuates the diverse elements of Humberto’s work, highlighting his work with acrylic on canvas but also with unconventional methods such as nails. 

The particular approach that lies behind Hermeto’s style would be his dedication to precision, whether in creating two dimensional works of art, mixed-media works or the blueprints of a residential building, Hermeto’s delicate crafting of lines and perspective create a gentle flow by which the viewer can see the works in boundless forms. His work with nails include figures such as Ingrid Bergman, Audrey Hepburn, and Salvador Dali. Mixing different mediums on his abstract paintings, Hermeto, distinguishes what is modern and what is contemporary by his characteristic use of words and statements in his paintings as well as the application of various mediums such as gold leaf. His purely abstract works have also been appreciated for their union as an abstract installation, each piece being an integral part of a whole.

Likewise is the case with his architectural works, residential homes encompassing the beauty of the local surroundings, such as his projects in Minas Gerais, Brazil. The use of empty space, linear and nonlinear articulate themselves in a postmodern aesthetic, engaging the viewer with different perspectives and lines. Hermeto has dedicated himself also to the market of non-fungible tokens, (NFT) and since 2019, exhibited his different works in Paris, New York, and Miami.
