Join the Underdogs movement! Visit us now to explore exhibitions, public art projects, and exclusive artist editions that connect communities through creativity.
Established in 2010 and consolidated in its present form in 2013, Underdogs works with a diversified roster of Portuguese and international artists connected with the urban inspired contemporary art universe, fostering the development of close relationships between creators, the public, and the city with the aim of promoting art as an everyday experience.
In his second solo show at Underdogs, Okuda continues to present his personal vision of society and the world we live in, exploring and highlighting some of its contradictions. Inspired by Mesopotamian, Roman, and Renaissance art, the artist speaks to us of the struggle between human beings and their own becoming through the habitual geometric structures, multicoloured patterns, and organic forms that characterise his visual language. “New Coliseum” is a metaphor about society's competitive nature and the daily struggle people face in the modern world.
