Everyone is different ​/​ Everyone is the same

"Mario Louro's artwork - EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT ​/​ EVERYONE IS THE SAME - is a captivating and thought-provoking installation of Pop Art inspired paintings. The collection showcases a diverse mixture of portraits, each featuring a BB face, an original figurative creature image reminiscent of ET​/​Alien. The paintings, presented as a series of 24 portraits, measure 10 x W55cmxH55cm each, and together, they form a large installation with a total dimension of W330cmxH210cm. The portraits are rendered in acrylic on canvas, with each one portraying the BB face in different colors and with various characters, symbols, signals, and brands, all of which convey multiple meanings. The use of colors and the repetitive nature of the series contribute to an infinite progression of meanings, revealing the brilliance of their extreme absurdity. The differing images of the BB face, the variations in mouth positions, and the distinct eye colors add to the spectacular and innovative scenario of the entire artwork. Notably, all four sides of the frames are painted, allowing the paintings to be seen separately or with spacing between them, resulting in an individual or series colored amazing finish. Beyond its visual appeal, the artwork delves into profound themes. Titled "EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT ​/​ EVERYONE IS THE SAME," the collection explores the duality of expressions existence. It speaks to the uniqueness and individuality of each face. In line with Mario Louro's style, the paintings convey a depth of childish thought, presenting an environment of positivity, contentment, and humor. The customs presented in the portraits are a product of the artist's personal creation, reflecting a genuine and original sense that touches on the abstract, real, or surreal dilemma faced by the creature portrayed in the artwork. Overall, the installation evokes contemplation, embracing the contradictions and complexities of identity and expressions of the language experience.
