João Machado: Poética Visual

This exhibition revisits the graphic work of João Machado, highlighting the poetic dimension of his work and the way in which it has developed into a very distinctive identity in terms of composition and colour. The exhibition offers a reading of the different phases of his work and invites visitors to reconstruct or reinvent some of João Machado’s posters through interactive elements.

João Machado (1942) is a key figure in the history of graphic design in Portugal, and the quality of his work over more than 40 years has been recognised both nationally and abroad. As an author, he favours posters and illustration (the areas where his identity has gained the most expression), but he also stands out in philately, editorial and corporate design. As well as taking part in group exhibitions and graphic design biennials around the world, João Machado’s work has also been presented in solo exhibitions in various galleries and museums, and honoured with various national and international awards.
