João Queiroz
Portugal
João Queiroz was born in Lisbon (1957), where he lives and works. He began exhibiting paintings and drawings in the early 1980s, while studying philosophy at the Faculty of Letters of Lisbon University.
These two interests converge in his work, which is dedicated to an informed reflection on the role of the image in the contemporary age.
The experimental methods he has explored to address old problems of the language of art involve both the potential of the written word in compositions and, since 1998, the possibility of a sensory and non-descriptive representation of nature. João Queiroz taught drawing, painting and art theory at Ar.Co (1989-2001), Lisbon.
