Papier-Mâché: Grotesque Figures

Pera Adult

  • March 17, 2023 / 19:00

We design peculiar figures with papier-mâché, a composite material that Paula Rego often uses to create realistic scenes that will be model for her drawings! This workshop is based on Rego's work titled "The Oratorio", a large cabinet containing the artist's eight paintings on its surfaces and grotesque doll figures in the center. In the workshop, the participants experience the diversity of expressions offered by the human body and the way an expression can take form. Experiencing several different papier-mâché techniques in the workshop, the participants follow the forms they create with improvisation inspired by the works in the exhibition.

“The portrait tells us that there is an inner and an outer dimension of the human condition; it provides—or should provide—information about both the physical and psychological character of an individual.”
