A pedra e o charco / The stone and the pond
The amazing Pauline Foessel, curator at the Underdogs Gallery was very kind on offering a solo show. I had just returned to Portugal and this opportunity to try new things and formats were bliss. I decided to mix, poetry, comic narrative, architecture and the human body, the result is is a staging of multiple visuals, convergent or divergent, complementary or opposite, arranged in the gallery space in an open way, where I invite the observers to create their own narrative path, to let themselves be carried away by the interpretative possibilities contained in the elements, in order to compose, intuitively or thoughtfully, their own stories. All the paintings are spray on canvas. A big thank you to Circus Network for the help during production, Diogo Matos for the expert spray hands and Luís Lobato from Expanding Roots for the making of video that you can watch here.
