A THEATER OF SYMBOLS

Jorge Pé-Curto's prints, in two color variants, immerse us in a climate of mystery, depicting situations of strong narrative and profound symbolic dimension. The mastery of the drawing and the plastic beauty add a special seduction. The sadness and introspection of the author's image of the death of the bull, a primordial energy, inside the cloister of a cathedral, confer an almost religious dimension to what appears to be the destruction of a primal energy. On the other hand, the Boschian scenario of D. Sebastião, escorted by a raven and embarked on a aimless and irretrievable journey, refers us to the wandering and absurdity that surround the human destiny.

Jorge Pé Curto

Jorge Pé Curto was born in 1955 in Moura. He has been living in Almada since 1965. At the age of ten, he began attending the Centro Artístico Infantil at the Castle of S. Jorge, which was mentored by the painter Hermano Baptista. Later, he studied sculpture at the Antonio Arroio School as a scholar of the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation. In 1981, together with other artists, he founded IMARGEM in Almada, a project that he would later abandon. He was also a teacher in the official education system for 17 years. As a visual artist, he has been involved in ceramics, painting, poster design, and printmaking, but it is in sculpture, particularly in stone, that he has focused his work. Collectively, Jorge Pé-Curto has participated in various exhibitions in galleries, institutions, commercial spaces, and outdoor sculpture shows since 1972. Some of his public art includes: Monument to the Man of the Sea, Feijó, Almada, 2010; Dynamic Construction, Sculpture Symposium, Braga, 2008; Divided Figure with Bird, Stone Sculpture Symposium at the Faculty of Technical Sciences - UNL, Monte de Caparica, 2006; Monument to the Fisherman, Costa da Caparica, 1985; Tribute to Fernão Mendes Pinto, in collaboration with Francisco Bronze, Almada, 1984. He has been exhibiting individually since 1984, including exhibitions at: S. Bento Gallery, Lisbon, 1993; Vértice Gallery, Lisbon, 1996; S. Francisco Gallery, Lisbon, 1998; Galveias Gallery, Lisbon, 2002; Perve Gallery, Lisbon, 2011; Casino Estoril Art Gallery, 2011; São Francisco Gallery, Lisbon, 2012.
