Developed within the context of The Studio project at Underdogs Gallery, Transition was hand-finished by ±MaisMenos± (Miguel Januário) during his residency.

Built from a shared printed base, each edition was individually intervened upon through the addition of coloured linear lines inspired by the visual language explored throughout the residency. Applied directly by the artist, these markings shift position from print to print, creating subtle variations across the edition.

Created in parallel with a body of work developed through drawing, text, and moving image, the edition reflects the reduced and contrast-driven visual approach that characterises the artist’s practice, where clarity and ambiguity coexist within the same compositional structure.

Developed within the context of The Studio residency project at Underdogs Gallery, Bring staring at a wall back was hand-finished by Wasted Rita during her residency.

During her time in the gallery, the artist approached the space as an open and continuously evolving environment, where drawings, phrases, interruptions, and observations gradually accumulated in real time. Extending this process into the edition itself, Wasted Rita introduced hand-applied airbrush interventions directly onto the risograph prints, adding graphic elements that shift across the edition, with certain motifs reappearing intermittently from print to print.

Created alongside a new body of work developed inside the gallery, the edition reflects the sharp humour, immediacy, and critical visual language that define the artist’s practice, translating everyday anxieties, contradictions, and fragments of contemporary life into art.

Developed within the context of The Studio project at Underdogs Gallery, Burning in water, drowning in flame was hand-finished by Tamara Alves during her residency.

During her time in the gallery, the artist explored a more fluid and experimental approach to drawing, working with water-soluble graphite and watercolour to develop compositions shaped by unpredictability and emotional intensity. This same process extended into the edition through a direct hand-drawn intervention repeated individually across all prints, establishing a continuous visual concept throughout.

Created alongside a new body of works on paper developed inside the gallery space, the edition reflects the instinctive and process-oriented approach that defines the artist’s practice, where drawing became a space for testing, transformation, and expanded visual possibility.

Born from this unprecedented collaboration, the project stands as a heartfelt tribute to the women of rural Portugal and the stories that shaped the country. The editions originate from a monumental concrete portrait evoking the internal migrations of the twentieth century, an image of resilience, labour, and transformation. 

Developed on industrial canvas, each piece begins with Vhils’ screen-printed foundation and is completed with Joana Vasconcelos’ meticulous handcrafted interventions. The Normal Editions feature feather compositions, while the Artist’s Proofs combine feathers with embroidered elements. Though rooted in the same 100 × 140 cm image, every work is entirely unique, a meeting of subtraction and addition that yields endless possibilities.

In the early days of graffiti, the ultimate flex in the scene had a name: wholetrain. To paint not just a single carriage but an entire moving vessel from end to end was a feat of scale, coordination, and audacity. Emerging in late-1970s New York, the wholetrain became a rite of passage: it was a moving celebration of collaboration between different artists, friendship, adrenaline, and sheer artistic nerve. When a wholetrain rolled into a station, everyone stopped. It was that powerful.

This spirit of collective creation, risk, and improvisation is the foundation of WHOLETRAINS, a project initiated by Alexandre Farto aka Vhils. He invited close friends, long-time collaborators, and some of the most important graffiti artists today — Barry McGee, OSGEMEOS, and Revok, who in different corners of the world, also grew up working on trains — to take this legendary spirit and twist it into something new. Instead of steel and subway tunnels, the structure unfolds on a long sheet of paper mapping the outline of a real train from Portugal’s Sintra Line.
