Interesting work, on the surface, I like it. Will be looking more into the artist. Any further info or links would be great, thanks.

Born in Portugal to Cape Verdean parents, Jucapinga presents his work in London for the first time.

His true passion has always resided in creating characters, illustrating them and using them as compositions in fiction. His influences are firmly connected with his roots, background and research from the street culture where he grew up, João Abel Manta's brush strokes, Sebastiao Rodrigues' graphic designs, Vasily Vereschagin's strong-message war paintings and the revolutionary inspiration of Amilcar Cabral. All this comes to life with the warm colours he uses and the 'cut and paste' technique which relies on simple but effective materials.


His website www.jucapinga.co.uk is still being developed (will be up very soon)
In April he's going to be part of a group show in London. More info on that very soon.
And in June he's exhibiting alongside with Sam3, Vhils, Alexandre Vasmoulakis and Alexandre Bokel in Lagos, Algarve.

His first solo show in London is running until this Friday in The Old Police Station in New Cross.
