GRID & WAVES

10 NOVEMBRO A 04 DEZEMBRO : PINTURA + INSTALAÇÃO
After years dedicated to the painting creative process, in the search of a non representacional work, I keep following, let’s say, the abstract path with a geometrical build up.
First the color and the lines were blended, being part of each other, then the line started to be discontinued and the segments organize in a grid, intuitive at the beginning, more rational later. They just touch each other at one point and can be expanded through the space, like “tiles”, black and white…the forms appear between them …showing up the waves.
The colour went it’s own way, different shapes with blurred lights and shades, setting up a grid of different “pixels” expanding playfully on the walls changing the perception and the look.
The synthesis of elements gives a chance to create new tensions and relationships , a constant reflection about the basic components of painting, the shape, texture and color, This search is nourished by reality to transcend it later and allowing to enter in other contexts.
My first aproach to the Passevite space trough the blueprints gave me me the chance of combining both works in order to adapt to the cube at the entrance, following a pattern of repetition and mirror images in order to change the “feeling of the space”, adapting to the different volumes and, why not, keep questioning from the inside to the outside, as a positive part of a process where the contradictions and the intangible sense of art are found.
