Go goofy for vintage? Then you’ll love Eduardo Recife. 

His works are filled with the stylish, innovative qualities worthy of hipster appreciation, however lacking sardonic undertones. As a graphic artist and illustrator, Recife presents a view of a world filled with whimsy, tradition, purpose and deeper meaning.  Using vintage ads, words and phrases, and splashes of color Recife enchants the viewer.  The work is soulful. 

“I´ve been drawing since I was little. At school I had notebooks filled with drawings instead of  notes. I used to tattoo my buddies with a black ink pen. I used to draw on any kind of surface when I was bored… I believe its what I do best. Its also the best way for me to communicate things I cant find words for… It’s a therapy, it’s a hobbie, it’s a job, it’s what makes me happy.”

And that’s just what the works are: an expression of personal happiness.  The positivity shines through and meets the viewer. Examining one piece draws upon a desire for more.  It’s simple, really, but it feels like something deeper. It’s the familiar, but as if upside down or inside out. Like a deconstructed photograph or a children’s story book that has been cut into pieces and thrown back together.

Worth Noting.
