Currently studying Painting at the Escola de Belas Artes (UFRJ| EBA) with complementary training at the Escola de Artes Visuais d Parque Lage (EAV), Rio de Janeiro, painting is Marlon Amaro’s primary medium. In his research, the artist focuses on bringing to light, through personal experiences and daily iconographic research, social patterns that perpetuate structural racism. With a strong influence of urban aesthetics, he builds scenes that function as visual traps when playing with the contradiction of his characters and the strong chromatic appeal in relation to the socio-political content of his work. In 2021 the artist had a solo exhibition, SÍSIFO, at HOA Galeria, São Paulo, and participated in a group show, Between Rivers, Waterfalls and the Deepest Sea, at M+B Gallery, Los Angeles (2021).
