Luanda - The artist Thó Simões is since Monday exhibiting 25 paintings at the Movart gallery entitled “Between Monsters and Men",
The luxury in garbage, the love in poverty and what we are is evident in the author's paintings, whose techniques go through painting, photography, graffiti, stencil and collages, presenting anonymous faces and persisting in recycling.
"I bring the thought of a reality that often wants to hide, in the certainty that between monsters and humans walk the Angolans," the author said.
The creator has explained that sometimes he has the feeling of being in the wrong place or on the opposite side, with questions about how to achieve satisfaction.
Born in Malanje, in December 1973, Thó Simões spent his childhood in Portugal, but returned to his country in the late 1980s.
In 1991, he began attending the National Union of Plastic Artists (UNAP) and further graduated at the Instituto de Formação Artística e Cultural (IFAC) in 1998.
