Emerging from Nuno Viegas’ ongoing engagement with graffiti culture, this edition brings together two recurring elements of his visual vocabulary: the masked figure and the crown. Rooted in the anonymity and coded rituals of graffiti writing, the work reflects on the tension between concealment and recognition, where identity is simultaneously hidden and affirmed.
The folded paper crown introduces a symbol of status and self-determination, transforming an anonymous protagonist into a quiet emblem of resilience and belonging. Balancing refinement with references to urban subcultures, the work pays tribute to a community whose presence often remains unseen, yet whose marks and stories are deeply inscribed within the contemporary city.

2026
Limited number of works available
Developed within the context of The Studio project at Underdogs Gallery, Nothing to Hide was hand-finished by Nuno Viegas during his residency.
Created alongside a new series of graphite and cyanotype works, the edition reflects the artist’s exploration of material transformation, controlled exposure, and gradual image construction. Extending this process into the risograph print, each edition was completed through the addition of a hand-applied golden crown.
Rooted in a practice informed by graffiti and its raw visual language, the work balances immediacy with precision, translating the tension between spontaneity and control into a single composition.
