Many superlatives come to mind when we look at Joana Vasconcelos' work: unclassifiable, “apart”, unpredictable exuberance, transgression, excess… Her work explodes in ideas and energy, in a work that deviates from any established path. Popular tradition and contemporary art marry in an adventurous way to invent new shapes. In fact, Joana questions what craftsmanship can be in the 21st century. She subdues the banal and integrates everyday objects with an irony that is unique to her, creating a connection between the domestic environment and public space. She tirelessly questions the place of women in the world, but also that of collective identity, without forgetting a biting irony about a society where consumption knows no limits. Her stunning “Valkyries” pay homage to great contemporary women from the different local cultures of the countries where she exhibits, while also giving a glimpse into her extravagant palette.
