Description

Portuguese artist André Romao has developed his practice over the past years to include a diversity of media, from poetry and sculpture to installations and video works. His work explores notions of violence of resistance and eroticism, with the human body at its core, and its often problematic interaction with historical, environmental, and economical macrostructures. He draws on a broad range of references from classical antiquity to Surrealism, from modern literature to the Baroque. The richly illustrated catalogue accompanies Romão's solo exhibition at Museu Coleção Berardo in Lisbon with exclusively new works and features an in-depth essay on the artist's work by the curator Pedro Lapa. André Romão, born in 1984, is one of the most promising artists of his generation in Portugal, having showed widely internationally in the past years. In 2007 he co-founded the publishing house Atlas Projectos. He lives in Lisbon.
