J <br />Romero Britto was born in Recife, Brazil In 1963. Self- taught at an early age, <br />he painted on surfaces such as newspapers. In 1983, he traveled to Paris <br />where he was introduced to the work of Matisse and Picasso. He combined <br />influences from cubism with pop, to create a vibrant, iconic style that The <br />New York Times describes, "exudes warmth, optimism and love." <br />In 1988, Britto moved to Miami and emerged as an international artist. In the <br />following year, he was selected alongside Andy Warhol and Keith Haring for <br />Absolut Vodka's "Absolut Art" campaign. Bdtto's pop sensibility has since <br />leant itself to many collaborations with such brands as Audi, Bentley, Disney, <br />Technomarine, Evian and FIFA, for whom he created an official poster for <br />the 2010 World Cup. He has also Illustrated several books published by <br />Simon & Schuster and Rizzoli. Britto's work has been exhibited In galleries <br />and museums in over 100 countries, including the Salon Nationale des <br />Beaux -Arts exhibition at the Carrousel du Louvre in 2008 and 2010. He has <br />also created public art installations for the 02 Dome (Berlin), Hyde Park <br />(London), John F. Kennedy Airport (New York), and Cirque du Soleil at <br />Super Bowl XLI. <br />Britto considers the role of an artist to be an agent of positive change. He <br />serves as a benefactor, donating time, art and resources to over 250 <br />charitable organizations and several boards such as Best Buddies <br />International, and St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital. He was recently <br />named a founding inaugural benefactor of Harvard's "International <br />Negotiation Program," by Dr. Daniel Shapiro, in his quest for peaceful <br />conflict resolution. Britto has also spoken at the World Economic Forum in <br />Davos, and at countless schools and institutions. In early 2011 the President <br />of Brazil, Dilma Rousseff, invited Britto to create the logo for Rede Cegonha, <br />a project to reach over 61 million pre and post -natal mothers and <br />babies. Romero was selected to serve as the Ambassador to the 2014 FIFA <br />World Cup in Brazil. <br />Sculpture by Romero Britto To Be Determined <br />ENLARGED SCULPTURE ELEVATION <br />REVISIONS / SUBMISSIONS <br />0523 <br />_Z <br />2 <br />CQ tl1 U <br />G N J <br />Z z <br />U NZ <br />Q M <br />m °a <br />W <br />Iz <br />D <br />H <br />J <br />vJ <br />0 <br />LU <br />0 <br />IZ <br />Z <br />W <br />•I <br />N <br />O <br />O <br />ti <br />J <br />W <br />mm i <br />^ V <br />UM? <br />1=0 <br />Z S Sze R <br />w �� <br />UWa. <br />¢ Y <br />.SOU <br />DRAWN BY. <br />CHECKED BY. <br />DATE: <br />A2.3 <br />
