About this work:
The two screen prints Mujer-pájaro (Bird Woman) and Lux (Light) belong to Cavalcanti`s so-called «soft style»: these are agreeable images from a childhood full of fantastic realism. Cut out and silhouetted, his figures slide past sensually, like amoeba or snakes. Winged creatures are not new to his work, and seem to have come from the Carnival in Rio or from Brazil's syncretic pantheon. They might be samba dancers in disguise, or the masked forms of «orishas» (gods) who come down and dance at celebrations of the typical ritual called «candomblé».¡ATTENTION MY FRIENDS!
