An exhibition by Pedro A.H. Paixão at Galeria 111 in Lisbon in the first half of 2020 is revisited here by the art critic José Marmeleira. In Aurora. Desenhos e Outros Materiais, this Milan-based artist creates work which is as consistent in its results as it is in the theoretical thought that underlies it, as it encounters the canonical genres of art history such as drawing and the portrait.
