Current Expo at Galeria da Costa
Local Lagos artist, Luis Miguel de Matos - “A wagon full of devils and the lovers strife”
Luis brings us the mythologization of a love story.
Drawing it from mythological and cultural references, The title "A wagon full of devils and the lovers strife" is inspired in a line from the I Ching that deals with the end of a relationship. It shows his concerns about the aftermath of the break-up.
He hopes the work promotes cultural acceptance and inspires curiosity about other nations, as it tells the tale using stories from various cultures.
More than 100 drawings were made in 2020, during the pandemic, and were colored from 2023 to 2024. Of these, 56 were chosen to appear in the exhibition. The exhibition also features a sculpture also made in 2020.
