Vandal Jackpot

And when it comes to events having place in Porto, you know you can count on Miss K from Dedo no Gatilho to cover the show. Saturday night was Tae’s debut show “Vandal Jackpot” at Galeria Dama Aflita, with a first take on street art from the gallery. Step inside for some shots of the night.
Vandal Jackpot by Tae

Galeria Dama Aflita, a gallery that’s been putting up amazing exhibitions every time they do it (which unfortunately I never had the pleasure to go), will host a new show this Saturday from artist Tae. This gallery focuses on illustration, and this is the first time they’re welcoming someone who also has their work put up in the streets. Although I do expect to see lot’s of illustrations from Tae, I’m also curious to see what bit’n'pieces from the street he’ll bring into the gallery.
The gallery will close on the 15th of August, but due to the nature of the exhibition, it can be seen from the outside until the 28th. You can check some of his work inside.

Add fuel to the fire is having a new solo show by the end of the month. Since the show will take place in a school, the name for the event couldn’t have been better “Back to School 2022″. Flyer and info inside.

(Re)Act

Also at the same time but on another corner of our country, the latest solo show from Mr. Dheo was taking place and since it was a one time only event, pictures are here to help everyone who couldn’t made it to the place like me.
INKIE solo show

INKIE just had his solo show in Lisboa last Saturday night at Bristol Lisboa Gallery. I got the chance to meet the artist, and had a wonderful chat with him listening to the experiences from the UK where he had also painted with our Portuguese artist KLIT. Great guy indeed. Go check his show if you have the chance. Meanwhile, here’s some pics from the night.
Secret Wars Lisboa

This edition of Secret Wars EuroLeague could not go by without an episode or two. This time the Berlin team actually only showed up with two artists instead of the usual three, so this battle had to be different so no team would get advantage over the other. This way our team (Mar, Chure and Hugo) got to play with all three member of the team indeed, but they had to take turns so that only two of them painted at the same time. That said, the party started through the night to the sound of Dj Glue, and in the battle with Lisboa Sport Club de Funk.
