Biography
Portuguese painter, video and installation artist, born in Évora. He was shown for the first time in 1964, in Lisbon, at the age of 18 years old, and has known immediate success. Whether it has been in his trajectory from Pop art or psychadelic, geometric abstraction, hardedge, conceptual art or trans-vanguardism, Palolo has always lived with the vital need to experiment. He developed geometrical structures in brilliant plain colours in the early 1970s, and towards the end of the 80's recovered this style and penetrated ever more deeply into his study of symmetry, inversion and repetition. He collaborated with other artists and musicians, in performances and installations, namely with the Telectu Group and with José de Carvalho and José Conduto in "Group 8", and in the video "Akasha escolar", shown in 1977 in the exhibition Alternativa Zero.
