Warmup 

“Lisbon, Portugal based artist Vhils has been working around the idea of permanence, and the evolution of urban centers, for over a decade. From street poster collages to literally drilling portraits onto the sides of buildings, he created a conceptual body of work that not only challenges the idea of removal, but creates a visual identity to the city that defies traditional mural characteristics. In a way, he is reminding the viewer of the things that can be eradicated, and that the things we leave behind, physically or emotionally, have a place in the world.”  

“Much of what Vhils showed me were extraordinary works, based on ideas of permanence in the cities that he has either lived in or worked in, and the unique ways he combines these experiences into canvases, cement pieces, styrofoam works and even new works on old doors that are the standouts of the show.”
