Descripción de la Exposición

The Cultural Affairs Bureau presents the exhibition “Debris – Works by Alexandre Farto aka Vhils” exhibition, featuring more than 20 works including four new public murals, inspired by Macau, will open at the Navy Yard No.1 – Contemporary art center. The opening ceremony of the exhibition will be held on 31st May (Wednesday) at 6:30pm, at the Navy Yard No.1 – Contemporary art center. The exhibition is organized by IC and co-organized by HOCA, supported by Fundação Oriente, Consulado-Geral de Portugal em Macau e Hong Kong, Casa de Portugal em Macau. “Debris” is the first solo exhibition of critically acclaimed Portuguese artist Alexandre Farto AKA Vhils in Macau, the show will further explore the artist’s ongoing reflections on the nuanced relationships between contemporary urbanscapes and their inhabitants. Vhils has become globally recognised for developing a unique visual poetry that exemplifies the interdependent relationship between contemporary life and its urban context. His groundbreaking carving technique, based on removing the surface layers of walls and other media with non-conventional tools, has been hailed as one of the most compelling approaches to art created in the urban art scene. From stencil painting to wall carvings, billboards to screen prints, pyrotechnic explosions to neons, Vhils has been exploring his concept of the aesthetics of vandalism in a plurality of media, continuously pushing the boundary of artistic expression.
