João Queiroz - Artist
João Queiroz
Back
João Queiroz began to exhibit painting and drawing in the early 1980s, while studying Philosophy at the Faculty of Letters of the University of Lisbon. Both interests converge in his work, which engages in an informed reflection on the role of the image in the contemporary age. The experimental methods he has explored to approach old problems of the language of art involve as much the potential of words written into compositions as, from 1998 onwards, the possibility of a sensorial and non-descriptive representation of nature. João Queiroz taught Drawing, Painting and Art Theory at the Ar.Co (1989-2001) in Lisbon, where he actually lives and works.
João Queiroz will be present in LEFFEST, Friday the 23rd, at 18:00, in Centro Cultural Olga Cadaval, to present the film The Maias: Scenes from Romantic Life.
