GIANTS IN THE CITY resigns to the form of a traditional meaning of the urban monument to offer a new artistic expression that transforms deeply the place of production and reception of the work of art itself; does not relate to the imposition of a symbolic meaning – characteristic of the permanent monument work – but relates to an ephemera parallel idea of equality between the space and the time, creating long-lasting inspiring dialogues between the work and the spectator.

Welcome Edo Ilustrado to GIANTS IN THE CITY Collection

Caricature is a type of visual communication which carries the message with exaggerated drawings. It is the briefest and sharpest way of stating a criticism. From the very beginning, it aims to address the audience to the lacking and improper parts of society. Any subject which concerns human kind can be subject of caricature. With modernism, subject has became as important as object. As an art branch of modernism, caricature has became a medium, which all the hostility and insurrection found voice in. While the purpose of art has been discussed repeatedly, caricature’s is brief and clear. Its goal is to wake people up with a sledge hammer; and it is very successful in reaching its goal. It does not fear to be like or disliked, it is very honest in its manner. It is like a naughty boy of graphic arts; who can assault anything he wants. Caricature is rebellious, rough, and destructive. However, it never looks irritating because of the cleverness it holds. Sometimes caricature uses naiveness as a barrier; and strike from back of it.
