Between November 1 and December 30, the Municipal Auditorium of Olhão hosts another art exhibition in its foyer. This time it is the Algarve artist José Eliseu who shows his ceramic works.
With the opening scheduled for November 1st, at 15:30 pm, at the José Eliseu sculptural ceramics exhibition, it will be possible to notice that children are almost always in evidence.
As the writer António Ramos Rosa said in relation to his pieces, “the sculptor José Eliseu seeks to combine the child with the object of his game and identifies or combines with this game in its figures in which the child who plays the game he plays”.
