ilustrações: Pessoa Festival NY

Em Novembro decorreu o The 2018 Pessoa Festival NY, com curadoria de Mirna Queiroz e Eric M. Becker, levando à 'big apple' vários autores de língua portuguesa. Esta é a minha ilustração/capa para a antologia concebida pelos curadores, com lançamento no festival, naquele que foi um dos momentos mais simbólicos da programação. Feliz com o convite e com o resultado!
Last November The 2018 Pessoa Festival NY took place in the 'big apple' with numerous writers and poets from Portugal and Brazil among other portuguese speaking countries. This is my illustration/cover for the anthology conceived by the curators Mirna Queiroz and Eric M. Becker, one of the highlights of the program. Happy with the invitation and the result!

about

João Concha is a published illustrator born in Évora, Portugal (1980).

At 18 he moved to Lisbon to study architecture, meteorology and hat-design. He attended the Illustration Program in CITEN - Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian (2005/2006) as well as short courses in AR.CO - Centro de Arte e Comunicação Visual.

He has been illustrating books, fanzines, magazines, and also works in partnership with theatre companies and other cultural projects, taking part in numerous solo / group exhibitions.

He created the illustration and poetry magazine INÚTIL (with Maria Quintans and Ana Lacerda). He currently runs the small publishing house 'não (edições)', which he founded in 2013.

In his drawings he explores the gesture, the imperfection and even the 'mistake' through different media: charcoal, graphic pen and colored pencils are some of his favorites. "A collage a day" (one at least!) could be his motto.
