Ricardo Aleixo (born in 1960 in Belo Horizonte) is a decidedly interdisciplinary artist. He is a poet, essayist, editor, visual artist, sound designer, singer, composer and performer. He co-founded and curates the FAN (Festival de Arte Negra), the major art and culture festival of the African Diaspora in Brazil.
His poetry shows a concern with formal research and multi-media experimentation nd approaches the Concrete Poetry of Augusto de Campos.
Ricardo Aleixo has been awarded many prizes including the 2010 Prêmio Literatura para todos. In the same year he received the cultural fellowship of the Petrobras for his volume of verse Modelos Vivos (2010).
