ARTWORK FOR GOAT DAY

The Silo Art Gallery at Hunt Hill Farm in New Milford exhibited the visual works of international Brazilian artist Guilherme Lepca and 72 paintings created by local kids during GOAT Day on July 10.

Lepca, currently an artist-in-residence at Hunt Hill, is known internationally for his works that mix collage and painting techniques, such as acrylics and spray painting. He has had solo exhibits in Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Uruguay and New York.

Two years ago, the Danbury Museum & Historical Society asked Lepca to create a portrait of American contralto Marian Anderson, who lived in Danbury for nearly 50 years. That portrait now hangs in the museum; Lepca also designed the new logo for the museum.

Lepca was invited to Hunt Hill by its owner Alessandro Piovezahn. The two have collaborated in the past on several artistic endeavors for the United Nations and have been working to develop the new visual identity for The Silo and Hunt Hill Farm.

“I”™ve known his work for quite some time and it”™s fascinating to see his creative process,” Piovezahn said. “He really does think outside the box.” Two of Lepca”™s works now hang at Hunt Hill Farm.
