Albert Porta was born in Barcelona in 1946, who adopted the nickname Zush from 1968 until 2001, when he became known as Evru, as he currently calls himself. Self-taught, he defines himself as ArtCienMist, that is, artist, scientist and mystic. He has been drawing since he was very young, but his first contact with the art world was through René Metras, a French gallery owner, in 1962, who encouraged him to continue creating. He establishes contacts and works with artists such as Jordi Galí and Silvia Gubern, among others, with whom he later forms the Grup del Maduixer. It is in 1964 when his work is shown for the first time to the public in the collective exhibition "Presencias De Nuestro Tiempo" ("Presences Of Our Time") at the René Metras Gallery.
The year 1968 is established as a transcendental point in his artistic career, since he decides to create Evrugo Mental State, accompanied by his own communication code and change his name to Zush. During this period his work stands out for a psychedelic aesthetic created by means of phosphorescent pigments and a great formal anarchy, understanding his works as the construction of a personal mythology, something applicable to a great part of his creation. Thanks to several scholarships he studies Holography applied to Art at the M.I.T. in Boston, something that is reflected in his works from the mid 80's onwards, integrating technology. Exhibitions in renowned venues such as Documenta in Kassel in 1977, the Guggenheim in New York in 1980 or the Pompidou in Paris in 1989 stand out.
In 2001, during his retrospective organized by MACBA, Zush is renamed Evru. It is at this moment when the concept of ArtCienMist appears, which defines his new artistic figure. His long career to date has led to major museums dedicating retrospectives to him, such as the one presented in 2007 in different museums in China, such as the Today Art Museum in Beijing and the MoMA Duo Lun in Shanghai. In addition to having exhibited in many important museums, he has also received several awards. Examples are the Premio Nacional de Grabado in 1997, the Premio Laus in 1999, the Premi Ciutat de Barcelona in 2000 or the Premi ACCA de la Crítica d'Art in 2003.
In 1989 he releases the LP 'Evrugo Mental State' composed by the artist Tres from the commission of Zush himself in 1982. Tres (Three) was a multidisciplinary artist and sound researcher (Barcelona, 1956 - Premià de Dalt, 2016), named so himself by the day he was born and never revealed his real name. Very appreciated in the artistic community for his generous and positive attitude, he always remained faithful to his creative search, knowing that he moved in a minority and nothing commercial. Known for his ingenious works on silence, he would be part of the Klamm group during the eighties. Among its most important arguments stand out truths such as "in this society verbally incontinent, there are no spaces for silence". That is why he created spaces and situations that made possible to perceive it so that it was a path of interior search. In his artistic career he cultivated several disciplines such as painting, sculpture, performances and music. [SOURCE: FUNDACION SUÑOL]
