Léo Tavares is a visual artist and writer. He is, in fact, an artist-writer or a writer-artist: he creates images with words e writes plastically - in his work, text and image are inseparable. When creating visual works, they are almost exclusively based on words; when he writes (in 2014 he launched the book “Os Doentes em Torno da Caixa de Mesmer”), his descriptions create vivid mental images full of details and subtleties. Word and image play an uninterrupted feedback game.
In Evocation Game, Léo Tavares give words to spectators so each one can create its own works - images that are only mentally accessible. In that way, each imagined work is private, unique, untransferable - and, in a sense, inaccessible.
