With GLORIA MUNDI, Obie Platon brings to Lisbon a body of work that challenges, provokes, and seduces the viewer into confronting the paradoxes of modern existence. The exhibition presents a compelling visual narrative that oscillates between order and chaos, construction and deconstruction, inviting reflection on the global condition.

Obie Platon is an artist of rare elasticity—his practice fluidly spans from muralism to classical painting, echoing the shifting identities and hybrid realities of our time. In Lisbon, a city shaped by both tradition and innovation, his work finds a fitting stage.

The exhibition showcases a constellation of works—ranging in scale and medium—that coalesce into a layered exploration of contemporary dilemmas. GLORIA MUNDI unfolds as a symbolic journey through the cultural landscape of Portugal, while simultaneously engaging with themes of universal human resonance—identity, fragmentation, and the shifting terrain of contemporary life.

Obie Platon fuses the symbolic language of folklore with the surreal rhythms of urban life. His figures and landscapes are neither entirely familiar nor wholly strange; they are thresholds, spaces in which the real and the imaginary converge.

His work is never didactic, always suggestive—inviting the audience to decode meanings, rather than consume them. In GLORIA MUNDI, Obie Platon doesn’t simply reflect the world back to us; he fragments it, reframes it, and re-presents it, with echoes that linger well beyond the gallery walls.
