Mónica Capucho

The exhibition of works of this Portuguese creator of plastic art, Mónica Capucho (Under Deconstruction), is part of a Spanish-Portuguese exchange process, which has regularly been developed and has brought reciprocal benefits. The painting of Mónica Capucho is dominated by traces of the geometric abstraction heritage, which is treated in a very personal and innovative way by taking into account strict criteria and technical discipline. Its meaningful sense is stressed by phraseological quotations, which are de visual representation of an outstanding intellectual and practical work. This ensemble of works is thoroughly subjective and antifigurative, that is, against the philophotographic trends that determine most of the contemporary artistic production. The exhibition will include the intervention of the artists (Mónica Capucho in an area of the Sala de la Muralla and Ana Sério in a different one). The works show the inquisitive visitor’s look a composition that is apparently oscillating between systematic and random criteria: it is a disimetric dialogue, both thematic and aesthetic, that will be continued by the future work of this Portuguese artrist.
