    4ª edição MUVUCATO Vem de Dentro

    In 2026, Rod RAS took part in the 4th edition of MUVUCATO Vem de Dentro, a group exhibition held at OLugar Arte Contemporânea, Rio de Janeiro. The participation comes at a moment of intense production, in a year when the artist was developing new embroidered works for the O Alquimista, As Feras Também Amam and Jardim Elétrico series.

    Rod RAS’s practice is rooted in freehand embroidery (metallic, polyester and cotton threads on canvas) and in self-portraiture, addressing identity, desire and belonging through his experience as a gay man. Placed within a group show, this production enters into dialogue with other contemporary poetics and reaffirms thread and body as artistic language. It is a practice built up since 2021, when the self-portraits of the Shibari & Flowers series began.

    Nossos Segredos

    In 2026, Rod RAS joined the group exhibition Nossos Segredos at Casulo Arte & Cultura + Ateliê Bikost, São Paulo, a year that extends a production in expansion, with new embroidered works from the O Alquimista, As Feras Também Amam and Jardim Elétrico series.

    The show’s title resonates with central axes of the artist’s work: intimacy, desire and what remains hidden. In Rod RAS’s embroidery, self-portraiture exposes precisely what the norm tries to conceal: the secret turned into image, stitch by stitch, in threads that accumulate time and memory on the canvas. Born in 1990 in Minas Gerais, the artist now has works in private collections across 20 countries around the world.

  • A Gente Quer +

    A Gente Quer +

    In 2025, Rod RAS joined the group exhibition A Gente Quer +, held at Vórtice Cultural within Mix Brasil – Museu da Diversidade, São Paulo. The show adds to a sequence of participations in projects linked to Vórtice Cultural that had begun the year before, when the venue hosted three of his exhibitions.

    That year, the artist was producing works for the A Caçada, Jardim Elétrico and As Feras Também Amam series, alongside self-portraits from Shibari & Flowers. The recurrence of the unclothed male body and of desire as narrative construction brings his work close to exhibitions dedicated to diversity, a field in which Rod RAS’s embroidery asserts, stitch by stitch, a presence. His works already figure in private collections across 20 countries.

    3ª edição MUVUCATO Vem de Dentro

    In 2025, Rod RAS took part in the 3rd edition of MUVUCATO Vem de Dentro at OLugar Arte Contemporânea, Rio de Janeiro, a project to which he would return the following year, in its 4th edition, deepening an ongoing relationship with a venue that was already one of the most frequent in his CV.

    Built stitch by stitch in freehand embroidery, the artist’s work dialogues with exhibitions that value manual processes and poetics of making. That year, his production included works from the A Caçada and Jardim Elétrico series, alongside the continuing self-portraits of Shibari & Flowers, a series that has accompanied his research since 2021, always in compositions that join the domesticity of thread to the unexpectedness of the subject.
