About Vacilante

The artistic group Vacilante was formed in 2013 and is composed of three members: Luciano Mattos, Heitor Pontes and Alexandre Pons. Living and working in the city of Recife, Brazil, its main activity is painting: pictures and external environments, where all members work on the same surface. There is no previous planning and no permission is required to intervene in images made by other members. This practice ended up to be an exercise of detachment over the work of each artist. Therefore, the main goal is this dynamic itself, the search for harmony and balance amid chaos. Vacilante nowadays is located at a collaborative studio named Pangeia: 328 Mariz e Barros, Recife Antigo Neighbourhood.
