JORGE QUEIROZ

Jorge Queiroz’s drawings, videos and watercolours use the fantastic and the grotesque as the basis for a singular cosmogony. Figures and situations associate humour and tragedy, recognised references and extraordinary narratives, in a surprising use of drawing as the basis for non-narrative visual fictions. In each drawing, the confrontation between density and dispersion originates a special kaleidoscope that filters reality for a new universe of humorous transgression. A baroque effect is created by the juxtaposition of motifs and references.
