"Outras Caras" (Other Faces) – exposition of Ismael Hipólito Djata

From April, 2010 there is an exposition of handmade paintings by Ismael Hipólito Djata in Morocco House of Tea, in Guimarães. Most paintings in one way or the other depict human beings. The exposition could be seen as a voyage of discovery a real - a wild life - the culture of Guinea Bissau and Portugal as well.
Ismael Hipólito Djata is a painter, a poet and a sculptor. His paintings transmit cultural messages and the mysteries of the universe. The art is an expression of his heart and soul. Through his works we see, that art has no borders, no race and no language. Ismael Hipólito Djata is a hyperrealist painter. His painting reflect the abstraction. He tries to find his world on human figures, customs, movements and chromatic treatments.
The painter is the founding member of the association of visual artists in Guinea Bissau, of the group United Brethren and of the club of dead poets in Guinea Bissau (Poetas Mortos da Guiné-Bissau). He got a prize for several contests "A Millennium without Hunger" held by United Nations Population Fund "UNFPA", "Give a little bit of your blood to save a life" World Health Organization "WHO" and in 2005 on behalf of the United Brethren received the award for best young painters of the year in Guinea Bissau.
In Ismael Hipólito Djata’s painting there is no pursuit for trends and no language of advertisement. I propose you to go and to take a look. It‘s worth your time. There is nothing more to say, because "A picture can paint a thousand words". The artist’s blog http://ismaelhdjata.blog.com and more other information http://erasmuslanguagecafe.wordpress.com
