Colour and materials

Those entering the exhibition from the Main Building of the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation find firstly two rooms where the colour and diversity of artistic proposals are manifest. The relationship with culture and Pop Art is present in all these works in which the deviations made by the artists are apparent, whether looking at the human body, or in work about the landscape or our relationship with everyday objects, which are often reused in a creative way. Drawing, as a project and explanation of ideas, is present and underlying in many of the object-sculptures on display.
