Silkscreen on paper

In Motion by Antonio Dias, created in 1975, is a limited edition silkscreen print that reflects the artist’s engagement with conceptual art and minimalist aesthetics. The print, measuring 65 x 47 cm, depicts a black and white starfield reminiscent of an astronomical chart. The scattered white dots, crosses, and star-like elements set against a dark background give the impression of observing the night sky. The words IN MOTION are inscribed at the top left, hinting at the theme of celestial movement and the passage of time. The minimalist design and monochromatic palette emphasize the vastness and infinite nature of space, inviting viewers to contemplate the relationship between motion, time, and the universe.

Antonio Dias (Brazil, 1944–2018) was a multifaceted artist whose work spanned painting, sculpture, and conceptual art. A prominent figure in the Tropicália movement, he critiqued political oppression and societal issues through his art. Dias's innovative use of materials and engagement with global art dialogues cemented his legacy in contemporary art.

I always protest when I’m accused of being Pop—it’s not my part.
- Antonio Dias

Antonio Dias (b. 1944 Brazil, d. 2018 Brazil) was a pioneering Brazilian artist known for his multifaceted approach to conceptual art, painting, and installation. Dias's work is characterized by its engagement with political and social issues, often reflecting the turbulent political climate of Brazil in the 1960s and 1970s. His early works combine elements of Pop Art with political commentary, while his later pieces delve into themes of identity, eroticism, and the intersection of art and life. Dias was also a significant figure in the global art scene, spending time in Europe and Asia, where his work continued to evolve in response to different cultural contexts. His innovative approach and critical engagement with contemporary issues have made him a key figure in Latin American and global contemporary art. (Artist website)
