“Soma” presents at the Underdogs Gallery a unit composed from a widely diverse universe of authorial visual languages, celebrating the vitality and wealth of this very heterogeneity; adding people and bringing different talents together, expressing their individual voices in the same space, creating a whole greater than the sum of its parts.
The pieces themselves were based upon one of our society’s biggest taboos: the notion that as you age your opinions and your dreams stop being as important and respected as when you were younger. As you age your dreams wither away… “Cala-te e ama-me” means “Shut up and love me”.
The man has 100x180cm, the woman has 70x180cm. Acrylic paint on layered plywood.
Arrested Motion featured a small article with some more photos of all of the artists’ work.
