This previous experience was fundamental for the development of innovative painting techniques, such as the use of textures created with construction tools, giving a sense of movement to his compositions. The artist also used mineral paints over a layer of whitewash, a substance commonly used in exterior paintings that makes the colors more vivid and luminous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Among the themes explored by Lorenzato, landscapes stand out, but his still lifes, portraits, and scenes of daily life are also notable, often treated with a geometric approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">The artist lived in different European cities for about thirty years. During this period, he studied at the Reale Accademia delle Arti in Vicenza, Italy; traveled by bicycle through Eastern Europe; and worked as a laborer in the assembly of the <em>Exposition Coloniale Internationale<\/em> in Paris, where he met artists and avant-garde movements. Lorenzato returned to Brazil in the 1940s, a period from which his earliest known works date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">Among the main exhibitions of Lorenzato's career are his participation in the 3rd <strong>Triennale of Bratislava<\/strong> and a group show at the <strong>Petit Palais<\/strong> in Paris, both in 1973, and a solo exhibition at the <strong>Casa dos Contos<\/strong> in Belo Horizonte in 1984. Notable posthumous exhibitions include: <em>Lorenzato and the Colors of Everyday Life<\/em>, <strong>Museum of Art of Pampulha<\/strong> (1995); <em>100 Years of Lorenzato<\/em>, <strong>Casa dos Contos<\/strong> and <strong>Gallery of the Guignard School<\/strong> (2001); and the group show <em>Minimum Common Multiple<\/em> at the <strong>Pinacoteca of S\u00e3o Paulo<\/strong> (2018). In 2019, exhibitions on the artist were organized by international galleries based in London and New York.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":718,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":true},"class_list":["post-717","artistas","type-artistas","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/flexagaleria.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artistas\/717","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/flexagaleria.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artistas"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/flexagaleria.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/artistas"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flexagaleria.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/718"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/flexagaleria.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=717"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
