Vasco Futscher

About the Artist

Vasco Futscher’s practice, more specifically the body of ceramic work that he has been developing since 2010, is marked by the fusion of traditions that are not usually brought together.   

Futscher combines elements from architecture and pictorial references spanning the history of art, or decorative arts, and has a keen interest in the ‘common’ elements that form our world, allowing him to create hybrid objects that defy categorization.      

The artist shows his work in major galleries and cultural institutions, such as MAAT, Brotéria, BoCA Biennial, A Montanha, in Lisbon; Kubik, in Porto; Camões Institute, in Luxemburg and Museu Afro-Brasil, in São Paulo. Futscher graduated at Lisbon’s Ar.Co — Centro de Arte & Comunicação Visual in 2013, and currently heads their ceramics department.
