The Artist

Renato Gosling is a visual artist from São Paulo who transforms the subtleties of everyday life into visual experiences imbued with memory, emotion, and critique. Born in 1976, Gosling builds his work from fragments of Brazilian popular life, using micro-narratives, sensory references, and evoking childhood elements to spark reflection on time, identity, and the culture that shapes us.

In the midst of the acceleration and information overload that define our era, his creations offer a pause. They are silent invitations to listening and contemplation. By appropriating ordinary objects, popular languages, and emotional symbols, the artist shifts the viewer’s gaze toward deeper layers of the human experience — those that can’t be summed up in 140 characters.

His artistic formation is marked by a continuous process of research and experimentation. He has taken part in courses and mentorships with prominent names in the contemporary art scene, such as Paulo Cibella (2025), Thomáz Pacheco (2024), and Kura and Agnaldo Farias (2021–2023), in addition to completing an artist residency at Edifício Vera, an independent space that fosters both individual and collective practices.

With a trajectory that combines technical rigor and poetic sensitivity, Gosling has been solidifying his place in the Brazilian art scene. His solo exhibition The Truth About Nostalgia at FAMA Museum (2024) was a milestone in his career, bringing together works that blur the line between memory and invention. He has also participated in group exhibitions at venues such as MARP, Nano Art Hub, and rotating collection projects, and was awarded at the 37th Jacarezinho Visual Arts Salon (2022) and selected for the 54th Koguei Bunkyo Art Exhibition (2024).

Renato Gosling’s work pulses between the intimate and the collective, unfolding as an ongoing exercise in listening and creation. It is in the space between the banal gesture and sensitive memory that his art takes form — a kind of emotional archaeology, capable of touching the present with the delicacy of someone who knows that beauty sometimes resides in the details.
