The only show is the one that waits'.

Tiago Baptista's work reflects the relationships established between the painter, the observer, the moment of painting and what he presents. Faced with the problem of inhabiting a world charged with meaning, Tiago Baptista's work is nourished by the tension that exists between the moment of painting, the figures and forms represented, but also the language and the meaning.

On the occasion of this exhibition, Ana Anacleto, curator, writes "Working with pre-existing images, which can contemplate the most diverse origins (from art history to comics; from advertising to photography; from punk, pop and DYI culture; to his own visual experiences), the artist constructs a kind of mental models that are the result of the visual relationships that are established in his imagination between these different references. An idea slowly takes shape until it becomes an image, which may end up as a painting".
