View in a Room

// Desapropriação 3 by André Komatsu is a limited edition lithograph from 2011, with an edition size of 24. This artwork shows a sturdy, minimalist table with a gridded surface, similar in style to Komatsu's other works in the Desapropriação series. A small, irregular break in the grid disrupts the otherwise intact tabletop, creating a subtle yet powerful focal point against the stark black background. Komatsu’s piece reflects themes of fragility within seemingly stable structures, inviting contemplation on disruption and decay within everyday forms. The single rupture in the grid symbolizes the vulnerability of constructed systems and the potential for unexpected breakdowns in what appears to be solid and reliable.

André Komatsu (Brazil, 1978) is a contemporary artist known for his sculptures and installations that critique social and urban systems. Using materials like concrete, bricks, and everyday objects, he examines power dynamics and societal constraints. His works invite reflection on the constructed nature of modern social structures.

André Komatsu was born in 1978 and is a Brazilian artist who lives in Sao Paulo. Komatsu's architectural installments normally show objects that don't complement each other. He likes to position something that takes out the functionality of the main object. His work often features a concrete or brick wall which symbolizes society's stagnation and the roadblocks that continue to affect social imbalances and injustice. One of Komatsu's most popular displays is called 'Febre De Ouro' which is a series of fenced rooms made with galvanized steel. The fenced rooms continue to get smaller and smaller as you walk through them, and they continue on until you can't fit. The installation is disturbing and gives the feeling of suffocation or claustrophobia, even though the viewer can see through the outside of the fence. Komatsu is part of the 'Invisible Movement' and focuses on how people deal with established powers and space in urban areas. He work shows how we have territorial limits in the world.
