We've just returned from a trip to the Amazon and Bahia, where we had the pleasure of meeting with Gabriel Arcanjo in his studio at the Museum of Modern Art in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil. We bought 13 works on paper from Gabriel, covering a period of 12 years of production. Among these are a great number of traditional cordel prints, and 3 of Gabriel's new works, which clearly evidence his own artistic evolution- using the traditional forms and motifs he developed over many years of working within the cordel tradition to create uniquely contemporary forms of great beauty and simplicity.
