Ovals and cones - amamede´s painting

Ovals and cones (ovais e cónicas)

Mixed media on canvas

52x86

  

In this canvas, dominated by oval and cone shapes intersected in an almost random fashion by linear elements, the artist seeks to give the depicted objects dynamic equilibrium, in search of original lines of force in colour schemes marked by great tension, dominated by shades of brown, green, violet and yellow. This colour scheme, highlighted by a dark background, seeks to create a complex spatiality in which asymmetries are reinvented in geometric domains, building abstract dreamworld spaces.

This canvas is contained in the catalogue of the Albuquerque e Lima Gallery, where it is available for purchase.

 

Nesta tela, em que preponderam ovais e cónicas interceptadas, de forma quase aleatória, por elementos lineares, o autor pretende conferir aos objectos figurados um equilíbrio dinâmico na busca de linhas de força originais, em cromatismos de grande tensão onde preponderam os castanhos, verdes, violetas e amarelos. Uma tal paleta cromática, sublinhada por um fundo escuro, procura criar uma espacialidade complexa onde se reinventam assimetrias em dominios geométricos construindo espaços oníricos abstratizantes.

 

 

Esta tela pode ser adquirida na Galeria da Albuquerque e Lima.
