Vitor Jabour “From Circuit to Canvas: Paintings Of Movement And Time.”

Vitor Jabour, born in Belo Horizonte, Brazil in 1991 and currently living in Brooklyn, NY is an interdisciplinary artist working with experimental video, painting, tapestry, music and the intersections between these medias.

An active member in the Brazilian independent music scene, Vitor started his career playing and creating graphics and videos for his and other bands, with the years his work gained notoriety and led him to be invited to collaborate and create commissioned work for bands from around the world such as Iggy Azalea, Pablo Vittar, Deaf Kids, Turnover among others.

Here at Selva, after years of dedication to the visual arts, Vitor presents his first solo exhibition of paintings and installation, marking a new phase in his artistic journey. His works, inspired by 1980s video editing circuit boards that he manipulates to form the basis of his work, serve as a starting point for a dialogue between the digital and the manual, the time of moving images and the time of artistic creation.

The foundation of Vitor’s video art work is rooted in analog obsolete technology, and in this exhibition, featuring 10 exclusive pieces produced in New York, he explores the organic nature of movement, capturing the fluidity and vitality that pervade his creative process. One of the works includes a television with a modified circuit, allowing visitors to interact directly with the piece, creating a unique connection between decades-old technology and contemporary art.

There is something profoundly magical when a concept transcends its original surface. Vitor’s work achieves this in a surprising way: the time of the image transforms into the time of manual creation, and what was once form dissolves into stain.

The exhibition offers a unique opportunity to witness this transition and explore how Vitor’s universe expands and transforms from one medium to another.
