Antonio Dias
The book Antonio Dias presents works developed by the artist in the 1980s and 1990s. With unpublished text by Elisa Byington and Graphic Design by Rara Dias, Paula Delacave and Ana Carneiro, the book features 58 images of works little known from the artist. According to Elisa Byington: “The work presented here form a unique set in the work of Antonio Dias. Emerged as tests, plastic experiments, irreverent games and questions asked by the artist himself in the intimacy of the studio (…). Works that are born without commitment to the final result and could never have reached us. Belong to the creative process and, as such, are endowed with certain unstable materiality , something halfway between the mind of the artist and the viewer’s contemplation, as a vector in this space-suspended indefinitely, where they could have disappeared without a trace.”
