THIRDBASE is pleased to present works by Robuche and Tintin Cooper, developed during Season 4 of Thirdbase Studio's Residency. — Opening Sunday, December 15th 5:00pm - 9:00pm Following days: by appointment until December 29th . ARTISTS: ROBUCHE Lou Buche and Javier Rodriguez are both graphic designers and artists. They met in 2017 in their Master studies at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie from Amsterdam. They quickly became ROBUCHE, a character born from the fusion between these two forces. Robuche’s work can be trademarked by his wit, playfulness and boyish honesty. Simple ideas are embraced by an energetic visualization and are executed as large painting, posters, typefaces, video installations or performances. Robuche is a quick thinker and gives form to his ideas in unconventional ways. He wants to create a strong confrontation by manipulating the digital while using the analog, and vice versa. Joy plays a very big role in his creation process, and thus is very much connected to empirical, simple experiences, which are embodied in multiple layers, creating endless, fictional landscapes and characters. TINTIN COOPER Tintin Cooper grew up in several countries including the Thai side of the Golden Triangle. She is currently based in Bangkok and Berlin. Recent events include solo show ‘Pool’ at Artist+Run Gallery, Bangkok (2018), finalist at Contemporary Visions 9 at Beers London (2019), with talks at Asian Culture Station in Chiang Mai, Thailand (2018) and Koppel Projects, London. Her appropriated video works have screened at Tate Britain, Transmediale Berlin and Gallery4A/Sydney Biennale and her artworks are in the Staedel Museum Frankfurt and DIB Bangkok Museum collections (Osatanukrau Collection). Her works are often humorous and appropriate popular culture images and cartoon illustrations (such as football, martial arts, the army and war, yoga and pseudo-spirituality fads), which are then deconstructed in painting and mixed-media. In a way her work mirrors what happens to images more generally today, namely being morphed and altered and disseminated via mass media and the Internet. — THIRDBASE STUDIO Calçada Dom Gastão nº5A 1900-193 Lisboa - Beato
