"When I face my work, I am faced with an expansive character of my essence that for a long time went unnoticed. Sun sign aries, rising sign gemini, fire and air. Combustion. Throughout my life I always wondered if I shouldn't follow a unique style in my art. I looked at the great artists that I was inspired by and was able to recognize the language patterns they used for years. Something in me wanted that, I wanted to find an artistic style that was my face. What everyone would look at and know immediately belongs to me.
The truth is that I never found what I was looking for, I never found a definitive style to call my own, But I found something even bigger: I found myself completely and deeply in all the forms of expression I came across. Today I see that my identity is to be changeable. It is accepting and embracing my curiosity for the diverse and my courage to change paths as many times as necessary.
The "A Pureza E Um Mito" series is Beto Gatti's inspirational dive into the experimental forest of the tropicalia movement. A phenomenon extremely important to the brazilian art scene.
Gatti always seeks new ways of representing the world and himself, running away from the conventional and, often, using the social and political character of art as a mirror in his works. As an immediate side effect, the objective is to bring forth questions surrounding the creation of the work. If successful, such questions will be decisive in changing the behavior of those who contemplate the art - art as a vehicle for ideas.
