Maxwell Alexandre

Born in Rio de Janeiro (1990), Maxwell Alexandre graduated in Design from PUC-RJ (Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro). Known for his large-format paintings in which black bodies are presented in an empowered way, but also moments of confrontation with the police, portraying a radically contemporary community routine in Rocinha, where he lives and works. His pieces integrate the collection of the Pinacoteca of São Paulo and the Art Museum of São Paulo.
