(Pope Bento XVI)

The artist, from Recife, will show nine large (2m x 1.5m each) self-portraits in which he appears almost killing a famous personality, such as Brazilian president Lula, ex Brazilian president Fernando Henrique Cardoso, the Pope, Bush, Ariel Sharon, and so on.

(president Lula)

Gil Vicente seeks a political dimension from the popular genre of self-portraits, putting himself in a reaction against nine social-politics and religious personalities. At the exhibition, the public is invited to testify these scenes trough the artist’s aggressive narratives, made only by black chalk on paper.
