Metropole Remix is about an utopia: The ideal Metropolis. Inspired by the book “Invisible Cities” by Italo Calvino, Alê Souto recreates a series of utopias/metropolises in all their splendid deception. At the same time sophisticated and primal, Alê's work, with echoes of Pop Art, Geometrism and Neoconcretismo, highlights the irony of our modern aspirations and civilization. The exhibition consist of a mural encompassing composed for 4 canvases of the gallery, woodcut printings with differents techniques (Metropolis Series) two objects (Walking Man and Receive a viral transmission) two performances and video projection. Since the start of his artistic career in 2005, Alê Souto has participated in many group exhibitions in Brazil, and his work has been shown in six solo exhibitions in Mexico and Brazil. He also regularly intervenes in the street and creates site specific installations and performances in urban centers, such as No Subúrbio Vivo, in the suburbs of Rio (2011) and Snail Man performed in several Mexican cities and Buenos Aires (Argentina) in 2010.

No Subúrbio Vivo - Duas pinturas que tratam do mesmo assunto com a ambiguidade do texto, No Subúrvio Vivo (existo) ou quem está viva é a cultura do subúrbio? O curioso foi realizar este trabalhos em duas situações distintas, O segundo dentro de um galpão fechado, lembrando mentalmente dos ícones da paisagem suburbana.O segundo feito diretamente na rua (matéria para a TV Record) onde todas as referências que estão na pintura em madeira aparecem no registro fotográfico no fundo. O cenário é o próprio lugar, in-situ.

Live in the Suburb - Two paintings that the same subject with the ambiguity of the text, In the suburb i live, play (exist)or who is alive is the culture of the suburbs? The curious thing was to carry out this work in two different situations, the second inside a closed building, mentally recalling the icons of the landscape suburban.O second done directly on the street (subject to TV Record) where all the references that are in the painting on wood appear in the photographic record in the background. The scenary is the actual place.

Transmissão Roots e Transmissão invisivel de forças silenciosas, novas pinturas feitas no subúrbio do Rio de Janeiro, observando as antenas de transmissão, falando sobre assuntos poéticos,territoriais ou comportamentais, ligando isso a geometria onde as palavras dão pistas da situação geral que está sendo tratado. Interação entre a imagem,escrita e o espaço já fazem parte da minha busca plástica há um bom tempo. Cores novas vão surgindo aos poucos, fruto do clima da cidade, atmosfera de tempo, ou ambiente que estou vivendo atualmente, é bem difícil definir porquê utilizar tal cor, a situação dos muros, das ruas,de ter uma mensagem direta pros observadores, mas que não seja algo, piegas, ingênuo ou hipócrita. Estamos falando de transmissão por agora ;)

Transmission and Transmission Roots for silent forces, new paintings in the suburb of Rio de Janeiro, observing the transmission antennas, speaking of poetic themes, territorial, or behavioral, linking this geometry where words give clues to the overall situation being treated . Interaction between the image, writing space and are already part of my quest plastic for a long time. New colors are emerging slowly, due to the climate of the city, the atmosphere of time, or that I am currently living environment, it is quite difficult to define why use such a color, the situation of the walls, streets, having a direct message pros observers, but that is not something corny, naive or hypocritical. We are talking about transmission by now;)

Novos desenhos da série Subúrbio Remix.Nestes desenhos utilizo basicamente marcador permanente,colagem,esferográfica e guache, a maioria deles é feito em formato a4 sobre papel canson mas também gosto bastante de utilizar papéis presenteados ou que acho em algum lugar, gosto do inusitado, da surpresa, papéis diferentes proporcionam leituras diferentes, texturas, o que é essencial para a autonomia de cada desenho. New drawings of the series "Suburb Remix." These drawings basically use permanent marker, collage, pen and gouache, most of them are done on Canson paper a4 but also really like using paper presented and I think somewhere, like unexpected, surprise, roles provide different readings different textures, which is essential to the autonomy of each drawing.

"Escuta cara, você re-descobriu a pólvora com esses papelões que são o produto mais caro da revolução industrial, do desenvolvimento industrial, aquecimento econômico nestes trópicos! Maleáveis poeticamente e totalmente entregues a linguagem rápida. Uma poesia justin time!...mas com profundidade!!! Ri do produto! Contemporâneo paracralareo de uma simplicidade cósmica indescritível! Não é concreto, mas tem concretude(força da beleza!) Gênio!!!!" Eduardo Affonso (Poeta, pensador e articulador social)
