About the artist

Alberto Porta (born 1946), born in Barcelona, Spain, is a Spanish artist best known for his work under the pseudonyms Zush and later Evru. He creates a self-contained universe complete with its own alphabet, anthem, flag, passports, and currency. His practice represents a highly personal mythological system expressed through paintings and drawings.

Porta's artistic practice centers on the construction of an imaginary world with its own codes and visual language. Working across painting and drawing, he develops intricate symbolic systems that function as an alternative reality. His work combines figurative elements with abstract signs and invented scripts. The imagery draws from personal mythology rather than external references, creating a distinctive visual vocabulary that operates according to its own internal logic.

His work has been shown in major international exhibitions including Documenta VI in Kassel in 1977 and Les Magiciens de la Terre at Centre Pompidou in Paris in 1989. Solo exhibitions have been held at Museum Reina Sofia in Madrid in 2000, Museum of Contemporary Art Barcelona in 2001, and institutions in Shanghai, Beijing, and Singapore between 2006 and 2007. His work is held in permanent collections of museums worldwide.
