Lives and works in New York, NY


 

Edgard Barbosa is a Brazilian contemporary artist based in New York focusing on collage, and design.

​

In his collage work, Edgard works through a multi-step process approach, which begins with korigami: an origami-like technique he developed, in which he achieves abstraction through folding, as opposed to the conventional method of cutting.

​

Edgard's primary focus centers on creating collages that explore how people embrace images of luxury advertising in our rapid technological and fragmented times through the inevitability of capitalism as a mode of self-understanding.

​

His works have been shown in Ki Smith Gallery, Soft Times Gallery, Dodomu Gallery and more.
