Andre Cypriano "Two Decades"
Frederico Sève Gallery/latincollector
This event has ended.
A native of Brazil, Andre Cypriano was born in 1964 and educated in Sao Paulo with a university degree in business administration. Concerned with environmental issues, he contributed time and effort as the administrator of "Salva Mar" Save the Sea - a Brazilian organization dedicated to save the whales in North Brazil.
In 1990, one year after relocating to the U.S., Andre began to study photography in San Francisco. He has since completed several projects which have been exhibited in over two hundred galleries and museums around the world. He has published four books - The Devil's Caldron (Cosac & Naify) , Rocinha (SENAC Editoras), Quilombolas (AORI) and Capoeira (AORI). His work is part of several collections such as Museum de Arte Moderna de Sao Paulo MAM-SP, Colecao Pirelli/ MASP de Fotografia, Museu Afro Brasil and Pinacoteca do Estado de Sao Paulo.
As part of a long term project, Cypriano began to document traditional lifestyles and practices of lesser known societies in remote corners of the world with a slant toward the unique and unusual. His portfolios have been extensively used in educational projects.
Currently, Andre Cypriano lives between New York and Rio, and continues to be involved in social and cultural activities.
