Nela Vicente

Animal and Animalism

Museu do Traje -

Animals have become an increasingly important feature of 20th and 21st century art, and the new exhibition at the Museu de Trajo in São Brás concentrates not only on artworks featuring animals, but also on those showing the influence of animals – where animals are the inspiration, instead of the subject. The group of artists taking part includes Jean-Louis Merré, whose works truly deserve the title of Fine Art; Nela Vicente, whose work Alma Animal exemplifies the ‘Animalism’ of the exhibition’s title; emotive and colourful cats and horses from painter Liz Allen, and animalistic sculptures by Arlindo Arez.

As usual, the exhibition will open with a topical performance by the Museum’s multinational and multilingual theatre group, Aperitivo, at 6.00 pm
