Rio, Rigo, and Oscar

Rio, Rigo, and Oscar



What a combination!!! Eliza and I couldn't believe that we were on our way to the Museu de Arte Contemporanea de Niteroi to see an exhibition by Rigo! The Museum is one of the most amazing spaces I've experienced. It was designed by Oscar Niemeyer, who is from Rio and one of the best modern architects of the 20th century. The whole experience was a total treat!






On the way to the Museum we passed this complex also designed by Niemeyer.




HELP!!! The redhead is attacking me ...





We got our first glimpse of Rigo's show outside ... I love these vehicles, they remind me of home in Indonesia



On the way up ...


Rigo's show looked AMAZING!!! A great retrospective of his work and in a really spectacular environment.


People were so loving it and kept posing in front of the large mural that he painted onsite.


































A kindred spirit ...












I had to pose too! especially since I sort of blended in to the work ...






hmmm... maybe I like the redhead afterall.





Ciao for now
