CELEBRATION OF POP CULTURE

João Galrão (b.1975), who lives and works in Lisbon and has been exhibiting in Portugal, France, and Spain since 1996, has recently been developing a Pop and psychedelic language in his paintings, which is evident in these screen-print works. Pop culture and art, with their famous paintings like Richard Hamilton's (1922-2011), their icons such as Elvis Presley and James Dean, coexist with other contemporary aesthetic references like Marcel Duchamp's ready-made, in a kaleidoscopic universe of quotations. They give life to a sinuous game of phosphorescent lines, frames, and captivating and disconcerting signs, drawing attention to the true ambivalence of life, eroticism, and death.

João Galrão

Born in Sintra in 1975, João Galrão currently lives and works in Lisbon. He studied at Ar.Co in Lisbon from 1996 to 2001, where he completed the Advanced Course in Fine Arts. He has had solo exhibitions in galleries such as Graça Brandão, Porto (2003), Hammer sidi, London (2003), Vera Cortês Art Agency, Lisbon (2005), Casa Triângulo, São Paulo (2005), The Chemistry Gallery, Prague (2008), and Galeria António Prates (2018 and 2020). Since 1996, he has participated in various group exhibitions, including the Ar.Co Student Exhibition (1999, 2000, and 2001), The Collector's Room, Canvas Gallery, Porto (2002), Salon de Montrouge 48ème (European Young Creators Salon), Montrouge, Barcelona, and Amarante (2003), Luis Adelentado Gallery, Valencia (2003), and now as a curator and one of the participating artists in the "Afrontamentos" project. His work resides at the border between painting and sculpture, resulting in a three-dimensional value achieved through the use of elevations and depressions. João Galrão is currently represented by Galeria António Prates in Lisbon, Portugal.
