Scenography and storytelling are essential in Fernando Marques Penteado's work. The food series decorated the artist's noteworthy participation at the 30th Bienal de São Paulo 2013. This installation illustrated the home and Brazilian daily life. In Linhas Tortas, the work is accompanied by drawings of rooms in houses occupied with furniture by the artist Geraldo de Barros.
The practice of Fernando Marques Penteado (aka f.marquespenteado) is supported by a very well-defined method that involves long processes and specific techniques that are tenaciously operated. The artist has a work trajectory specially marked by embroidery, which ends up linking clothing accessories, books, and found objects. And for an aesthetic choice, it combines autobiographical and historical matter in the link of inventive literary creations. Starting with in-depth research on the contribution of the textile universe to visual culture and the diffusion of knowledge, the artist elaborates narratives permeated by his own personal vocabulary, whose profoundness is articulated by playful undertones that constantly negotiate the meaning of things. In representations sewn by Fernando Marques Penteado, we are faced with common human relations and historical and semantic displacements. It is within these that topics such as sexuality, homoeroticism, gender and violence are considered from a perspective that articulates, in a very particular way, social critiques from domestic environments.
