Thiago Rocha Pitta (Artist)

Brazil, b. 1980. Pitta, who lives in São Paulo, Brazil, participated in the Singapore Biennale (2006) and São Paulo Biennale (2012). During his residence in Tokyo, Pitta was attracted to the simple forms that he encountered in the
city’s architecture. His drawings and installations combine the inorganic aspect of architecture and the organic aspect of salt crystals. He makes contemplative works based on a close observation of natural processes such as weathering, sedimentation and the flow of water, often using salt crystal as a symbol of change in nature. For “Home Again-10 Artists Who Have Experienced Japan” exhibition, Pitta will create an installation using cloth and cement.
