Merging drawing, sculpture, video and performance, the collective Assume Vivid Astro Focus addresses cultural and political problems that afflict society through his captivating and sometimes confusing works.
This collective, born in the city of New York in 2005, it is made up of Eli Sudbrack, a 53-year-old Brazilian, and the Frenchman Christophe Hamaide-Pierson, 48.
AVAF tends to recycle and transform the images that it uses in one project to use them in another since they tend to flow freely due to the fact that they are characterized by being dense Stamped.
La lust for life and the importance of expressing oneself freely are two of the themes that Sudbrack and Hamaide-Pierson constantly address in their work since for them these two points are crucial.
To enrich their work, which is sometimes difficult to catalog and even assimilate, Assume Vivid Astro Focus typically has collaborations with musicians, designers, dancers, and other artists.
And precisely for this reason, AVAF is constantly experimenting (and especially mixing) with various artistic techniques since its proposal not only seeks to be different but also reckless.
The art of Assume Vivid Astro Focus is free, but over experimental, since what they care about is getting their messages across and transporting viewers to other parallel realities in which color (and joy) are always present.
