On the streets of Recife, Brazil, Romero Britto appeared to be just another artist eeking out a living as he put chalk on alley walls and scrounged up scrap paper to doodle on. Life led him to the overwhelming arts scene of the US and step by step he found his work attracting raving reviews, gradually gaining better attention till he could proudly claim that his works had made it to over 100 galleries around the world.

Britto Central is homage to his life and work, the grit that brought him this far reflected in some of his best pieces collected within this complex. A nondescript glassed entrance marks out the gallery on Lincoln Steet, the 80s go-to underground hangout for burgeoning artists. Against cream walls, one is lured in by the sheer vibrancy and life in Britto’s work which is known for its use of pigments and hard edged compositions. Whether you see his work as a carefree take on life or a multilayered statement of wonder, Britto Central is a celebration of all things Britto under a single roof.
