Carnaval
Carnaval by Nico Tracey distils the spectacle of Brazil's great festival into pure graphic abstraction. Vivid swathes of magenta, gold, and cobalt overlap and interrupt one another across the composition, suggesting costumes, crowds, and confetti without ever depicting them literally. The collage technique layers photographic fragments beneath fields of flat colour, creating a surface that rewards sustained looking — each viewing reveals a new detail half-hidden beneath the dominant rhythms. The portrait format contains the energy like a stage curtain held just open, the full spectacle implied rather than shown.
Printed on cotton canvas in our Berlin studio, the woven texture brings additional warmth and depth to the piece. The canvas surface integrates Tracey's layered collage into something unified and physical — a canvas print that holds its energy across any wall scale.
