Bibliography
Ian Salamente
Ian Salamente (b. 1998, Cabo Frio, Brazil) is a visual artist based in São Paulo. His paintings explore the relationship between bodies, urban space, and lived experience, often depicting figures and architectures in transformation. Working primarily in oil on canvas, Salamente draws from memories of migration, violence, and community to construct densely layered compositions where textures, shadows, and debris become narrative tools. Since moving to São Paulo in 2023, his practice has embraced themes of displacement and resilience, portraying a precarious urban environment marked by fear and survival. His recent solo show Fome do Cão (2025), at Zipper Galeria, presented scenes of imagined cities shaped by inequality and tension, affirming his voice among a new generation of socially engaged Brazilian painters.
