Subliminal Projects is pleased to present YOUTH ETERNAL, by Portuguese artist Diogo Machado, aka ADD FUEL. In his inaugural Los Angeles solo exhibition, ADD FUEL debuts a series of works and projects that intimately narrate a transition from adolescence to maturity, presented through the artist’s diverse practice. The exhibition features an installation of his signature tile-based works, sculpture, a public mural at Subliminal Projects’ favorite local watering-hole Little Joy in Echo Park, and a collaborative limited edition screenprint with gallery founder Shepard Fairey, to be released in conjunction with the opening of the exhibition.
“In my work, I always suggest an adventure, a journey through focused attention in the composition, and the discovery of nuance through layers, patterns, allegories, and the unstoppable constructive dynamism of the story I present in each piece. It guides the viewer to discover intricate details, and a story over time, in each work I comprise in YOUTH ETERNAL.“ –ADD FUEL
Rooted in a post-modern reinterpretation of traditional Portuguese Azulejo ceramic tilework that dates back to the 15th century, ADD FUEL expertly fuses historical craft with modern material, concept and design. YOUTH ETERNAL, expands on his signature style with focus on a sentimental weaving of the past and the present through pop culture references from his youth within complex traditional patterns, creating a poetic rhythm of storytelling drawn from memories of his Portuguese origin and nostalgic youth.
