GUSTAVO FERNANDES

Born in Lisbon, 1964. Lived for 13 years in Canada, in the periods of 1975/1979 and
1981/1989. Attended the Plastic and Graphic Arts programme at Dawson College and
studied the method and techniques of Betty Edwards’s «Drawing from the Artist within» and
«The Natural way to draw» by Nicolides, in Montreal. In the interim of his two-year stay in
Portugal, he works under the guidance of the portrait artist Francisco de Oliveira. His first
contacts with the artistic and cultural scenes took place in Montreal, where he had his first
exhibitions (Galerie Triolet and La Bourse d’Art). He returns definitely to Portugal in 1989
setting up the bases of the Atelier of Artistic Development – Gallery of the Arches (Oeiras)
which he will consolidate in 1992. In 1993 he is co-founder of the Grupo Artitude (with Luis
Vieira-Baptista, Magnus de Monserrate and Victor Lages), which breaks up in 1996. His
cultural and professional artistic activities in the market have become autonomous and have
evolved since then, yet without losing the individual and close contacts that emerged with
the most gratifying synergies of the Group. He is represented in the Linhares Art Directóry.
2005-2006

EXHIBITIONS
He has had a total of more than 215 exhibitions, divided into: 40 individual shows, 30
group shows with and without the Group Artitude (21 integrated in activities of the Group
Artitude between 1993/03) besides participating in more than 150 collective exhibitions from
1983 to 2005.
