From Fan to Fam
‘Quarteirense’ visual artist returns home and has an exhibition in his hometown.
Sometimes things just work out. I had arranged to drop in and see artist Nuno Viegas (also known as Metis) one afternoon. I got a little confused and assumed that we would be meeting at his exhibition along the seafront in Quarteira (at the Praça do Mar Art Gallery), when in fact he was actually expecting me at his studio where he was busy preparing for his upcoming exhibition in Lisbon in June. This was just as well, as it gave me time to properly take in his work. As it's one thing to simply scroll through his pictures on Instagram (@nunoviegas.pt) and quite another to see them for real.
