John Andrew Perello, known as JonOne, is a pioneer of graffiti who emerged from New York’s 1980s scene - crossing paths with Basquiat and Warhol -before moving to Paris in 1987. "Bleu Horizons" distills his signature “tag-as-gesture” into a limited edition that layers sweeping calligraphic strokes, splashes, and drips across a deep field of blues. The work channels the speed and improvisation of the street into a controlled, rhythmic composition, capturing JonOne’s trademark energy while pushing his language of color and movement into a refined, collectible format.

Blue Dinosaur offers a satirical take on Europe as a once-powerful force now stalled by its own legacy. Through the image of a prehistoric creature, the work questions the continent’s ability to adapt in the face of global urgency. Layered with irony and symbolism, it invites reflection on the balance between tradition, transformation, and political responsibility.

Underdogs celebrates the 25th of April with the launch of a special series of editions by seven Portuguese artists who, although they did not experience the revolution firsthand, grew up with its legacy deeply embedded in the fabric of society. This year marks 51 years since the Carnation Revolution — a historical moment that ended decades of dictatorship and restored democracy in Portugal. The works emerged from an invitation by Underdogs to engage in a dialogue with iconic photographs by Alfredo Cunha — one of Portugal’s most important photojournalists. With a sharp and sensitive eye, Cunha captured defining moments of April 25, 1974, immortalising expressions of freedom, confrontation, silence, and hope.

Each artist was invited to choose, reflect on, and respond to one of these images, inviting viewers to step into a portal through time and offering a new, personal reading of the past. Originally presented in the exhibition Portais do Tempo, held at the former Lisnave shipyards in Almada in 2023, these powerful works are now being relaunched as limited editions — produced in the same format and with identical margins. Each edition will be sold at the same price, making them accessible to a wider audience and reaffirming the importance of keeping alive the reflection on what freedom means, and what it continues to mean, today.

Pedro Gramaxo reinterprets one of Alfredo Cunha’s most subtle yet striking images — a close-up of two soldiers’ helmets reflecting the light. Fascinated by this interplay between form, symbolism, and atmosphere, Gramaxo creates his own photographic response: a composition captured in the landscape of Grândola, a place forever linked to the revolution through the song Grândola, Vila Morena. In his image, two illuminated forms emerge from the darkness, suggesting portals to an imagined future. As in Cunha’s original, light becomes both subject and metaphor.

BRINCAR com letras grandes("PLAYING in big letters") is a visually vibrant and provocative composition that delves into the ambiguity between playfulness and truth, lightness and emotional manipulation. The work confronts the viewer with a saturated visual universe - filled with childhood references, fragmented objects, and clashing textures - orchestrated within an intentional chaos.At the heart of this whirlwind lies a subtle yet loaded question: “Plena mente?” (a wordplay in Portuguese suggesting both “fully conscious” and “full of lies”). The phrase operates as both riddle and critique, questioning the social habit of saying something honest in the form of a joke - only to quickly retreat behind the phrase “just kidding” when vulnerability is exposed. A gesture that simultaneously reveals and denies.The painting becomes a reflection on dishonesty wrapped in playfulness, where a playful aesthetic is used to camouflage deeper emotional tensions.  Visual elements like cherries, childlike patterns, and abrupt cutouts serve as metaphors for the desire to express honesty. “BRINCAR com letras grandes” refuses the superficiality of joking and invites a reflection on the courage it takes to stand by the truth - even when it arrives masked as laughter.
