Wasted Rita

Portuguese artist and illustrator Wasted Rita (b. 1988) has been developing a critical and a profoundly introspective artistic practice that explores her love-hate relationship with life and the world. Engaging in the cerebral realms of contemplation, the artist meticulously composes incisive, sardonic aphorisms imbued with acerbic nuance, pouring forth little gems of sarcastic wisdom dipped in acid that reflect an unconventional upbringing in a Catholic school to the sound of Black Flag. Making use of a variety of media – including sculptural objects, installation, painting, drawing, and writing – her unique voice pours forth her mordant observations and poetic invectives on human behaviour and contemporary culture.
