The artist Enio Longo, pioneer of Nanoart in Brazil with the researchers of the Center for the Development of Functional Materials (CDMF), seeks new horizons for this artistic / scientific movement in some recent works.
The new phase reinterprets Nanoarte from the perspective of artists such as Pablo Picasso, Joan Miró and Andy Warhol. The inspiration comes from the geometric shapes of many of the researched nanoparticles at the Center that are only revealed using powerful microscopes. Picasso, in his cubist phase, used geometric shapes such as triangles, squares and cubes to portray nature.
The fantasy used by Miró to portray Carnival and the different facets of Warhol’s Pop Art also amalgamate offering new avenues to be explored by the encounter between science and art, rationality and dream.
