Thiago Gomide is a founding partner of Gomide&Co, a gallery based in São Paulo, Brazil.
Artists Julia Isídrez, Paraguay and Maria Lira Marques, Brazil, will feature jointly in a presentation by Gomide&Co at Independent 20th Century this September.
Interested in art since his childhood, Thiago first followed another passion by studying architecture. Having to make a living in Brazil this seemed to cover basic needs and interests. His career in the art world started at the age of 20 with founding a small gallery for modern Brazilian furniture in his hometown Belo Horizonte, following an agreement with his mother. Out of sheer curiosity he contacted collector Bernardo Paz, started working for him and was deeply involved in the creation and construction of the Inhotim, a world famous collection of contemporary art. After 7 years he felt it was time to move on, so he moved to São Paulo, where he created the contemporary art and photography department at the renowned auction house Bolsa de Arte. In 2013, Thiago co-founded his own gallery. Thiago talks his diverse stations of working and learning, the special situation in Brazil, his personal relations with the art community and the influence of the big international art fairs.
He talks in depth about the two artists Julia and Maria Lira, whose works Gomide&Co. will show for the first time at the Independent 20th Century. Thiago follows his own insights, his need to grow and develop and his passionate interest for art, design and architecture. In this he paved his own path from Brazil into the international markets and vice versa. He never forgets his community, the people that follow and support the gallery, and always invents new ideas and approaches to accommodate artists and collectors and to enhance and extend these profound relations into the future.
