Variations derived from a painting: Visit- workshop with Alice Geirinhas

During the workshop visit to MACAM, we will observe, draw, and create a visual narrative based on Paula Rego’s “The Knight, the Lady, and the Priest 2” (1984). Led by a visual artist whose work will engage in dialogue with that of the Portuguese artist, the workshop offers drawing exercises to explore characters, gestures, and stories, experiment with different interpretations, and discover new possibilities within a painting.

Since the mid-1980s, Alice Geirinhas has been developing a body of work centered on drawing, expressed through various media, including illustration, artist’s books, painting, video, and installation. She is a professor in the Department of Drawing at the Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of Lisbon.
