Giftcraft Announces New Romeo Britto Licensed Line
Brampton, ON, Canada – The images of internationally acclaimed artist Romero Britto will debut on new tabletop, giftware, stationery and collectibles by Giftcraft, Ltd., North America’s leading designer and marketer of gifts, garden and home decor products. The Romero Britto Collection will be launched in September. Retailers can place advance orders beginning in July, with fulfillment during the fourth quarter of 2008.
A native of Brazil, Britto has become the foremost pop culture artist, with his colorful iconic art displayed worldwide. He is exhibited in more than 100 galleries, and he has created artistic projects for such well-known brands as Disney, Absolut, Movado, Evian and Audi, among others. His diverse appeal has found him as a panelist at the World Economic Forum and creator of the Cirque du Soleil pre-show at the NFL Superbowl XLI, as well as numerous other global entities.
Among the recent Britto achievements was his Pyramid Project, which included the unveiling of a 45-foot artistic pyramid in London’s Hyde Park in late 2007. The unique interpretation is reminiscent of Picasso and Warhol in exquisite colors, and incorporating Egyptian symbols as only Romero Britto can conceive.
He is known for his philanthropic commitments, and established the Britto Foundation to lend his time, resources and talent to children and organizations throughout the world. One of his primary objectives is to make his art accessible to all and “enjoyed by people of all ages.” His use of bright colors reflects his desire to exude happiness through his art.
