Happy Children’s Day 🫧

Jimmy Lee Sudduth’s fertile imagination has led him to paint self-portraits, dogs, television personalities, and the architecture and landscape near his home in Fayette, Alabama, as well as views of New York and other cities. In Big City Skyline, rows of people filing across a bridge toward a crowded mass of towering skyscrapers emphasize the anonymity of life in America’s large cities. Sudduth’s materials—mud mixed with sugar water and color extracted from weeds and vegetables—are no less inventive than his themes. He rarely uses canvases or brushes, preferring to use his fingers to paint with clay, mud, sand, and soot on plywood.

Seymour que tudo vê
com Mariana Rocha

Seymour observa tudo, sabe quando está a ser observado, quando falam dele, ou com ele.
Uma divindade que protegia os guerreiros, portador do bem e do mal, um portal para outra dimensão, ou sete anos de azar se se partir. Nesta sessão vamos pensar sobre quem é Seymour, e explorar o universo surreal, onde tudo existe no inesperado, criado por Michel Gouéry, mas povoado por figuras e imagens que parecem não existir no mesmo mundo de quem as vê.

Edmund Monsiel, a Polish shopkeeper with untreated schizophrenia, started drawing during World War II. When German forces took over his shop, he feared arrest and fled to his brother’s house, where he passed the remainder of the war hiding in a dark attic. Under these conditions, by the light of a candle, Monsiel started to draw his highly detailed pencil works. After the end of the war, he continued to live in isolation, taking a job as a machine operator. He was a quiet and devout man who feared the forces of evil. Much of his work is dominated by religious imagery, with representations of priests, God, Christ or the Devil. His intricate, highly detailed line drawings are frequently dominated by moustached faces, in full face and in profile, often reproduced in multiples within larger forms, the background of his pictures made up of hundreds of pairs of staring eyes. The overall effect is overwhelming, particularly given the scale of the drawings (average size 15 x 10 cm) such that the composition threatens to be lost in the elaborate chaos of detail. Monsiel produced hundreds of pieces of artwork in a 20-year period. Although many were lost, over 550 drawings and sketches remain intact. Monsiel is regarded as one of the most important of the European Outsider Artists.

His work will be part of the upcoming exhibition SAGRADO CORAÇÃO, opening May 31 st at Fundação Eugénio de Almeida
Curated by Joaquim Oliveira Caetano, this group show proposes a unique encounter between two distinct artistic universes: the collection of the Archdiocese of Évora and a set of works of from the .
