Details: WOOL – Covilhã Urban Art Festival, that merged in 2011 in Covilhã, for various reasons beyond our control, didn’t get more support or funding for a second edition, so obviously we searched for other geographies, new projects and new formats.
The first place that welcome us was LXFactory in Lisbon (as Rua Rodrigues Faria, 103 – www.lxfactory.com), undeniably the most creative and artistic center of the capital, which was installed in an old flourmill and later printer industry, a place filled with old and gray facades.
This is a piece from the second group of artists that were featured at LXFactory, for WOOL ON TOUR 02. The pieces of André Fernandes Trindade are very inspired by the Victorian and steampunk style.
Biography: André Fernandes Trindade was born in Oeiras, in 1986. He graduated in Sculpture from the Faculty of Fine Arts of Lisbon University in 2009, lying to attend the last year of Art and Multimedia, in the same establishment. His work is best known for his involvement in the area of graphics for national and international underground bands creation as independent clothing brands and bmx. His work is based mainly on creating illustrations for t-shirts, cds, logos, posters, etc.
