This bilingual catalog (English/Portuguese) presents a curated selection of works by Portuguese artist Pedro Matos, whose practice explores themes of impermanence, decay, and the poetic potential of overlooked textures and surfaces. Blending abstraction and representation, Matos draws inspiration from weathered walls, peeling paint, and ephemeral marks—turning signs of time and erosion into meditative visual compositions. Designed by João M. Machado and featuring a critical text by Miguel Moore, this 88-page, full-color volume is part of the Underdogs Artists Collection, a series that highlights leading voices in contemporary urban art. Published by Lisbon’s Underdogs Gallery, the book is both a compelling introduction to Matos’s work and a collectible art object in itself. Perfect for readers interested in contemporary painting, urban aesthetics, and the quiet beauty of transformation.
