Vale do Lobo is currently featuring a collection of thought-provoking pieces from the renowned Iberian artist González Bravo during an exhibition that runs until July 2.
González Bravo was born in 1944 in Badajoz, Spain, but has lived in Portugal since 1970. Since 1981 he has been a regular and successful exhibitor in individual and group exhibitions not only in Portugal, but also in Germany and France where he published an edition containing many of his works entitled ‘Euvres 1990 – 2000’.
The artistic style of González Bravo reflects the great 20th century movement of informalism art, a period of European art which mirrored that of American abstract expressionism and included Antoni Tápies.
His works are noted for their progressive adoption of aesthetic abstractionism, with figurative elements melding with abstract expressionism and the spontaneous use of materials to create memorable pieces that challenge the viewer to reconsider their established preconceptions of abstract art.
The González Bravo abstract art exhibition, organised in association with the prestigious Galeria São Mamede, is open to the public Monday to Friday, from 10am to 7pm. Entrance is free.
