Brazilian capoeira master Edilson Almeida – renowned Master Eddy Murphy was born in 1967 in São Paulo, Brazil. He practiced Capoeira with prestigious Brazilian masters since he was young. In 2009 he found Capoeira Sports and Cultural Association of Macau (ADCCM) where he teaches the art of Capoeira to 120 children and young people. His enthusiasm in capoeira and education is honoured by different sectors in the community.
Unfortunately, Master Murphy was diagnosed with cancer recently and in need of chemotherapy. As he is not a Macau resident, he is not eligible for subsidies. Although Macau SAR Government has tired the best to help on the medical expenses, he still needs to go to Guangzhou for further treatment with estimated fee of over million patacas. Given the difficult situation he is facing, CAC as part of Macau community, has decided to organize “Art Auction for Master Eddy Murphy 38”. Fund raised will go exclusively to support him and the family.
Twenty-five artist members of CAC are joining the Auction and a total 38 works are presented, including painting, drawing, printmaking and photography and more.
