Chico da Silva, an illustrious artist from Brazil, is set to have all his artwork compiled in a definitive catalog called 'raisonné' in the upcoming year. This volume will list all his creations, serving the purpose of authenticating each piece and elevating his recognition as a serious contemporary artist. This development comes just ahead of his solo exhibition at the Nottingham Contemporary in the UK, showcasing his vibrant art on an international stage.

Born in Acre and later residing in Fortaleza, Silva is remembered for his delicate, surrealistic compositions featuring fish, birds, dragons, jellyfish, and other psychedelic beings. His artworks are known for their explosive colors and intricate details, drawing the attention of discerning collectors globally. As he gains more fame, his pieces are becoming increasingly sought after, reflecting a growing appreciation for his unique artistic vision.

Having previously participated in major art showcases like the São Paulo Biennial and the Venice Biennale, Silva's works now reside in significant collections worldwide, including the Museo del Barrio in New York and the Tate Modern in London. The upcoming book is anticipated to further solidify his legacy in the contemporary art scene and provide a deeper understanding of his artistic journey and thematic explorations.
