Aryz Presents 'Vanitas' Installation at Lisbon's National Pantheon Through June 2024
Spanish artist Aryz has created a large-scale diptych installation titled 'Vanitas' at the National Pantheon in Lisbon. The work reinterprets traditional vanitas paintings from the 16th-17th centuries, which focused on mortality themes, but presents them with vibrant colors and contemporary elements including references to Día de Muertos. The installation is part of the Underdogs Public Art Programme and will remain on view until June 23, 2024. The location within the Pantheon, which houses notable Portuguese figures, provides contextual significance to the artwork's exploration of legacy and remembrance.
