Exhibition Antonio Vasconcelos Lapa

The title of the exhibition , Journey(s), was chosen by Antonio Vasconcelos Lapa, to confer unity to the wide diversity of his ceramic work : tile panels, high and low reliefs, three-dimensional pieces of smiling faces, animal heads, installations that spring from spaces, trees that rise up , exotic flora and fauna. Vasconcelos Lapa has made in recent years tropical forests with exuberant fauna and flora in ceramics. This pieces are playful and multi sensorial, vibrant, colourful, producing sounds, as if coming out of a fairy tale.

This is the wild nature created by the Artist .
