HTMLText_0911F957_04BE_2261_4184_CCA196113EDD.html = Nympheas (after Monet), 2021
100 x 100 cm
Plastics
Monet, the precursor of impressionism, built a japanese garden in his home and fill the lake with aquatic plants. The plurality of the colors of nature was depicted in his painting series baptized "Nympheas". Can you imagine a Monet work without colors?
Eduardo Srur's "Nympheas" do not use paints or brushes. Only plastic bags produced by the industry. Is this what we want? Plastic flowers with artificial colors?
A beautiful lake is a clean water lake. Always use a reusable bottle to drink water.
The Great Wave (after Hokusai), 2020
60 x 87 cm
Plastics
“The Great Wave off Kanagawa” is part of the woodblock print series: thirty-six views of Mount Fuji. Created by japanese artist, painter and engraver Katsushika Hokusai. It is the most reproduced art of all time.
Among the most produced materials of all time is plastic.
2 million plastic bags are disposed per minute.
This work could not be more symbolic because it represents a wave made entirely of plastic fragments.
Today, it is not enough to just take your garbage home. We need to set the example and collect rubbish from others when we are at the beach.
Mona Lisa (after Leonardo da Vinci), 2019
77 x 53 cm
Plastics
When Leonardo da Vinci painted Lisa Gherardini's portrait, the plastic didn't exist.
500 years later the portrait of "Mona Lisa" is the most known picture in the world and plastic is everywhere.
Tonnes of plastic are produced daily and Brazil is the 4th largest plastic waste producer in the world. We are also who recycles less. We reuse only 1% of the plastic.
Would Mona Lisa smile hearing that?
Srur took more than two months to make this “Mona Lisa”. Plastic disposed in nature will take thousands of years to decompose.
Avoid using single-use plastics and cosmetics that have microplastics in the composition.
The Scream (after Edvard Munch), 2021
91 x 74 cm
Plastics
Edvard Munch's famous “The Scream” is part of a series entitled “Frieze of Life” which he describes as poems of love, life and death. The norwegian artist made four versions of this work which is considered the precursor of expressionism and symbolizes human anxiety and anguish.
Any similarity to "The Scream", by Eduardo Srur, is not a mere coincidence. How do you feel when finding plastics on the rivers banks and floating on the water?
“The Scream” of the 21st century reminds us that more than half of the world's rivers are affected by human activity.
Don't throw plastic in the street because it will surely reach in some river and then it will end in the ocean.
The Starry Night (after Van Gogh), 2021
74 x 92 cm
Plastics
Vincent Van Gogh painted the iconic “Starry Night” inspired by the sunrise in a small town in France.
Today, 130 years later, humanity managed to arrive on Mars. But despite technological advances, we are still dependent on fossil fuels to generate energy.
Imagine our civilization fully focused on the consumption of renewable energy such as solar and wind.
This reproduction of “Starry Night” is made only of plastic bags. The moon, stars and countryside landscape created by this oil derivative alert us to the danger of climate change of our time.

Kettle and Fruits (after Cézanne), 2019
50 x 60 cm
Plastics
“The father of us all” is how masters Picasso and Matisse described Paul Cézanne. His "still lifes" brought perspective distortions and changes that defined a style of his own, building the bridge between impressionism and cubism.
Today, in the most different shapes and sizes, almost everything we consume is packaged. If we do not choose conscious consumption, buying products in bulk or with packaging refills, it is likely that nature will really die and we only have fruit made of plastic as in this artwork.
