Francisco Tropa

 
Sculpture has been a permanent interest in the artistic practice of Francisco Tropa, who works since the beginning of the 90s and has gained a significant attention by institutions and the critique. Several media are used by Tropa – sculpture itself, drawing, performance, photography or film – to convene a series of reflections introduced by the different traditions of sculpture. Subjects such as body, death, nature, landscape, memory, origin or time, are always present in his works.
Representing Portugal in the Venice Biennale (2011), he also participated in Istanbul Biennial (2011), Manifesta, Ljubljana (2000), Melbourne Biennial (1999) and Bienal de São Paulo (1998). Recent monographic exhibitions include Culturgest, Lisbon (2009), Mudam, Luwembourg (2013), La Verrière, Bruxelles (2013) and Sérignan Musée régional d'art contemporain (2015).
