Scenography of the exhibition “Paula Rego. There and back again” curated by Adam Budak and Alistair Hicks.
The aim of the scenography is to emphasize on the contemporaneity of Paula Rego’s work as well as to echo the violence of the world she describes. Walls to hang her paintings have been designed with protruding parts, giving them a grotesque appearance resembling the grotesque figures of the artist. Their wrapping with thermo-retractable white film, with it stretched and wrinkled parts, give a sense of both tension and sensuality.
