Kelton Campos Fausto
"In almost atmospheric paintings, Kelton situates us between the fantastic and the terrible, which is to think about the inevitable transits between life and death. Among beings with tongues larger than their mouths, sand showers, and processions on clouds, we come upon the finitude of what we know, to the infinitude of what cannot be known. Work and energy return here in some way to destabilize our supposed scientific knowledge of observable phenomena." - Matheus Morani
KELTON CAMPOS FAUSTO (São Paulo, 1996) lives and works in the Global South. They are a multidisciplinary and non-binary artist, resident and founder of the platform and collective BRASILÂNDIA.CO. Kelton produces and creates images that move through the languages of video, painting, ceramics and performance. They are currently interested in the plastic construction of the misconception of the Brazilian diaspora, architecting spiritual spaces and scenes that propose living spaces, based on other ways of apprehending reality and the body.
In 2024, they took part in the exhibition “Dos Brasis: arte e pensamento negro” at Sesc Quitandinha in Petrópolis - RJ, Brazil; the show was part of a tour of the exhibition that had passed through Sesc Belenzinho, São Paulo, Brazil, the previous year.
