Litography
56X77
In this lithography, dominated by yellows intersected by linear elements which fragment the plane into a series of boxes (reminiscent of a succession of frames), the artist seeks to give the depicted objects a finite amplitude. The successive frames establish recursive rhythms intersecting chromatic cells which are similar but different, constructing a gridlike spatiality in which sealed spaces are repeated, reality is framed by the septa and transformed into almost labyrinthine niches.
This lithography is contained in the catalogue of the Albuquerque e Lima Gallery, where it is available for purchase.
Nesta litografia, em que preponderam os amarelos interceptadas por elementos lineares que fragmentam o plano em esquadrias repetidas (como se tratasse de molduras sucessivas), o autor pretende conferir aos objectos figurados uma amplitude finita. Os enquadramentos sucessivos estabelecem ritmos repetidos que interceptam quadrículas cromáticas similares mas diferentes na construção de uma espacialidade quadrática onde se repetem espaços estanques e a realidade surge enquadrada nos septos e transfigurada em recantos quase labirínticos.
Esta litografia pode ser adquirida na Galeria da Albuquerque e Lima.
