“[In the 1960s] Successive and deliberate transformations in Ribeiro’s depiction of ‘Heads’ emerged too. In the initial phase – he explained talking through the progression of his work - the dominant medium was PVA rather than oils, a reference to the PVA and synthetic dye colorations he had sought to create.

‘From here on i.e., 66 to 68 the paintings appear to have fully absorbed this root or tuber like form which was to be the nucleus on which all the work since 1965 was based’.”
