Brazilian artist finds international success
Roxanne Vargas welcomes back celebrity artist Romero Britto to discuss his work, famous a-listers he’s rubbed elbows with, and where you can meet him and see his work this weekend.
We can thank the Brits for introducing us to the world of pop art, the bright and colorful artistic movement that came about in the mid 1950s in England. The United States jumped on the wagon a few years later, giving us Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein and Jasper Johns in the 1960s. Now included in that mashup is Romero Britto, a Brazilian born, self-taught artist who took the art scene by storm. Britto will be bringing his extraordinary collection to Northport’s LaMantia Gallery from July 15 through 23, showing guests his life in vivid color.
The excitement of meeting Celebrity Artist Romero Britto and seeing his work brought VIP’s, special guests and the press to the Gallery of Music and Art, in the Forum Shops at Caesars Palace.
So much for the tortured-artist stereotype.
One look at artist Romero Britto’s work and you know the cliche definitely doesn’t apply to him.
