Oil on Canvas
Carved Wood
23w" x 71h"
Artist Replete presents Tsugi an original work by Vini Meio created with oil on canvas and hand carved wood. The piece merges classical figuration with a contemporary sculptural frame that appears to melt into the floor. A dancer turns away from the viewer, captured in a moment of quiet grace, while the frame dissolves into flowing teal and walnut tones. This interplay between structure and collapse reflects Vini’s ongoing interest in identity, memory, and the fluidity of the self in a rapidly changing world.
By allowing the artwork to extend beyond its boundaries, the artist blurs the line between painting and object, inviting the viewer into a space where tradition and modernity coexist. Rich textures, intentional distortion, and emotional subtlety create a sense of movement that feels both surreal and grounded, transforming a familiar scene into a contemporary exploration of form, culture, and human presence.
This piece can be installed by simply leaning it against the wall with a single command strip to prevent movement. The sculpted melted base functions as a natural support system, allowing the artwork to stand securely while maintaining its intended visual effect. No additional hardware is required.
Brazilian artist and designer Vini Meio, based in São Paulo, Brazil, blends his Okinawan heritage with the visual intensity of contemporary Brazilian life to create work that examines what it means to stay human in a digitally accelerated world. Moving between visual arts, design, and narrative driven critique, his imagery fuses bold color fields, layered textures, and graphic precision. The result is a body of work that mirrors the fractures of modern communication such as overlapping timelines, distorted memories, and identities reshaped by virtual environments.
Across series like Distortion, Vini explores how globalization, digital validation, and post modern fragmentation shape our relationships and our sense of self. His practice reinterprets enduring themes of memory, connection, and identity through the lens of the virtual age, creating images that feel both familiar and estranged. Each piece acts as a reflective surface that invites viewers to confront their own narratives and to recognize the subtle threads of humanity that persist beneath the noise of contemporary life.
