A BANQUET OF EMOTIONS
The exhibition “Subdivisiones” (Subdivisions) by visual artist Lucio Carvalho is the result of a long quest that started at his childhood. As in his memories, his images were realized based on digitalized photographs that depict a great banquet hall, where the guests are people that are looking for their true identities. According to the artist, the table is how people show their weaknesses and strengths, when the viewers see them, they identify themselves with their secrets and revelations.
Lucio Carvalho uses and abuses the technology of digital painting, with a dose of realism in the photograph. In his opinion, this mixture of techniques and elements allows the viewer to make a reflection on the influence of environment on people, on objects and mostly, on the deepest subconciousness of their fantasies.
When he was a child, Carvalho felt that he was doing something wrong, because he felt different to the children around him. As a very young artist, he stopped hopping around and playing to devote endless hours to draw underneath tables and beds, places that are protected from the adults’ sight.
With time, Lucio began to add figures of huge feet and hands in his childish doodles, a universe in which adults only existed from their torso down. Their faces and emotions were always a product of the artist’s imagination.
Of all the tables that the artist has used as a workshop, there was one that caught Lucio’s eye. It was a long table for tweenty four people that came from an hacienda that belonged to his grandparents from his mother’s side. This table was the star of the family’s Sunday lunches, it was the meeting place of family and friends, who held true “banquets of emotions”.

This is how this work-which was visited by fifteen thousand people at the Conjunto Cultural Caixa in Sao Paulo- intends to always keep an unknown character, adapting itself to a spatial and conceptual concept, its premise is that those that have been a part of the banquet, set their guests in new situations or rediscover new personalities.
