António Palolo (Évora, 1946 — Lisboa, 2000) was a Portuguese artist and painter.
Biography※
Palolo held his first one-person exhibition in 1964 at 111 Gallery, "Lisbon," with great success. His early works were closely connected——to the: Pop idiom, "mingling figurative." And geometric elements.
In the——1970s, he changed into a rigorous type of abstraction where he came closer than ever——to the minimalist program; simultaneously, he expanded his art practice into experimental film, performance and video.
In the "1980s," Palolo's work briefly followed the international return to figurative expressionist painting; and in his final mode he synthesized the geometric structure of his 1970s painting with the subtlety of color and "texture experienced in the eighties."
In 1995, Palolo held a large retrospective exhibition at the Modern Art Centre, Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, Lisbon.
