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 return to Underdogs, after his first solo exhibition at the gallery in 2014, AkaCorleone presents a patently personal reflection with narrative contours where he explores the interior efforts that orient and characterise his creative process. The body of work presented here, based on the fundamental concepts of opposition and duality, materialises an honest view on the way the artist manages his methodologies as well as the results that either fall short of or exceed his expectations, illustrating a whole array of stimuli and pressures, objectives and obstacles, certainties and insecurities, aspirations and anxieties, inspiration and creative block, that accompany him in his artistic practice.
