Rodrigo Cass, a Brazilian artist, has died in an accident at Copacabana beach. Born in São Paulo in 1983, Cass spent time in a Carmelite monastery from 2000 to 2008, where he studied and began painting, learning to produce icons in the Byzantine tradition. He went on to have a successful career, exhibiting in international biennales, festivals, and exhibitions, and was represented by galleries in Brazil and the US, including Fortes D'Aiola Gabriel and Anthony Meier.
His work is held in collections including the Pompidou and Thyssen-Bornemisza in Madrid, and was recently featured in the 39th Panorama da Arte Brasileira at the MAM São Paulo.
