This poster was created for the 2013 solo exhibition Vers le vert at Ricardo Fernandes Gallery in Paris, featuring the work of Sérgio Bello (born 1952). Produced in an edition of 150, it reflects a pivotal moment in the artist’s trajectory, when his ecological engagement became central to his visual language and public stance. The exhibition presented a body of work that reaffirmed his commitment to environmental awareness, using painting as a means to communicate urgency, activism and a renewed relationship with nature.
Bello’s practice has long been shaped by a deep concern for the planet and the communities affected by environmental degradation. His works often evoke landscapes in transformation, where color and gesture convey both the beauty of the natural world and the fragility of its balance. The painting reproduced in this poster has been exhibited internationally, including in major museum presentations in Italy, China and France, underscoring its relevance within the artist’s broader ecological narrative.
The poster captures the intensity and chromatic richness characteristic of Bello’s approach, offering a glimpse into a series that marked a turning point in his artistic and political expression. It stands as a document of an exhibition in which the artist affirmed his commitment to environmental protection through the force of his imagery. This collectible edition, printed in 2013, remains one of the last available examples of a work that embodies the artist’s long‑term dedication to ecological consciousness.
