About the Item
Alexandre Farto aka Vhils (b. 1987) — Mixed Media on Resin, 2014
A powerful and visually arresting work by internationally acclaimed Portuguese artist Alexandre Farto, known professionally as Vhils. Created in 2014, this piece is a striking example of the artist’s signature technique and innovative material manipulation. Executed in mixed media on resin, the artwork measures 143 x 91 cm and showcases Vhils' characteristic layered approach that combines elements of graffiti, poster art, and urban detritus.
This unique piece explores themes of identity, memory, and the transient nature of contemporary life. Vhils meticulously carves, erodes, and reconstructs surfaces to reveal deeply expressive human faces, often using found materials and urban fragments as his canvas. Here, the artist fuses collage with stencil work, ink, and paint drips over resin, incorporating layers of advertising ephemera and printed matter—capturing the visual noise of the modern cityscape while isolating a singular, haunting portrait from within.
The surface is textured and tactile, intentionally distressed, with torn posters and typographic remnants visible beneath the central image. Splashes of fluorescent pink and stark black create a powerful visual contrast, amplifying the emotional resonance of the depicted face, which emerges ghostlike through the chaotic background.
Signed and dated on the reverse, this piece is an outstanding example of Vhils’ ability to blend contemporary street aesthetics with fine art sensibility. The work is unframed, as is typical for many of Vhils’ pieces, preserving the raw and authentic character of its street-inspired origins.
Vhils’ works are included in major private and institutional collections worldwide, and he has exhibited extensively in prestigious venues such as the Centre Pompidou (Paris), the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego, and the Victoria and Albert Museum (London). This piece offers collectors a rare opportunity to acquire an early and significant work by one of the most influential street artists of his generation.
