Duda Penteado is a painter and installation artist who moved to the United States in 1996 from Sao Paolo, Brazil, where he was born. After arriving in New York he worked with Sheila Marbain, a master printer who collaborated with Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, and Robert Rauschenberg. Upon moving to Jersey City, where he still resides, he began using his artwork to reach out to the people in the communities around him. |

Most recently, he was honored with the 2009 Humanitarian Award from the American Conference on Diversity. Since 2005, he has been involved with the “Beauty for Ashes” Project, which is based on the events of the 9/11 bombing of the World Trade Center. The project grew out of a painting that Penteado created that references Pablo Picasso’s famous painting “Guernica” that depicts and memorializes the destruction of that city in the Spanish Civil War. Penteado will be presenting the mixed media project in Brazil, China, India and Spain during 2010 – 2012. |
