“The new set of drawings by the Portuguese artist.
Since 1993, the Portuguese artist Gonçalo Pena has created a vast collection of drawings, with a mesh of cross-references and assumptions that all revolve around the human figure. Within this huge collection, religion, history and ancient mythology mingle with political philosophy and social issues, creating a veritable cultural puzzle of references hidden behind each image. The illustrations in the book appear in a seemingly logical order, in stark contrast to the immense variety of techniques, themes and subjects.
