RUI HORTA PEREIRA - Cosmic and Original Joy

There is a certain minimalism in the drawings, gouaches, and watercolors presented by Rui Horta Pereira (b. 1975) in 2019 at the D. Luís I Foundation, reminiscent of Ângelo de Sousa's work. These pieces explore elements that the artist considers fundamental: "the place, the line, and the space." Created during an artistic residency in the Algarve, they are the result, in the artist's words, of the encounter between "the effect of the sun burning the pigments on the paper" and the profiles of a stone, "multiplied" into compositions of intense chromaticism. These works are characterized by the dynamic interplay between spaces and lines, defining dynamic forms that seem imbued with movement, a source of cosmic and original joy.

ARTIST'S STATEMENT ON THE SILKSCREEN PRINTS - "ESTRATIGRÁFICO" SERIES

The silkscreen prints now revealed are the result - and the word is not used lightly - of the encounter between the work I develop in collaboration and the effect that the sun has on burning the pigments on the paper. They also stem from the challenge posed by Filipe Vasconcelllos to create a label for Morgado do Quintão in 2019. In mediating this process, a stone extracted from the territory was dissected into various "stratigraphic" profiles, which were then multiplied into compositions featuring an expanded chromatic palette. It could be said that the visual result is the product of a maturation of time, drawing upon its creative essence.

Rui Horta Pereira

Born in the city of Évora in 1975, the artist currently lives and works in Lisbon. With a degree in Sculpture from FBAUL, since 2000 his work has focused mainly on sculpture and drawing, exploring how the construction of the creative process is not disconnected from the actions of the creator, in all its ethical, social, and environmental aspects, and how this relationship can be effectively realized. He has been regularly exhibiting his work since 2010 and is represented in various collections, including the Biblioteca de Arte da Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian, Fundação Carmona e Costa, PLMJ Collection, Berardo Collection, Figueiredo Ribeiro Collection, Luís Ferreira Collection, Tróia Design Hotel Contemporary Art Collection, Tiqui Atencio Collection (Monaco), Coleción Art Fairs SL (Spain), Carlos Garaicoa Collection (Spain), and Regina Pinho Collection (Brazil). The artist is represented by Galeria das Salgadeiras in Lisbon. His individual exhibitions include "A maioria das pedras não têm fôlego e etc" at Galeria das Salgadeiras in 2020; "Mapa luga, uma lacuna" at Centro Cultural de Cascais in 2019; "Mergulho" at Galeria das Salgadeiras in 2018; "Opaco" at Biblioteca FCT NOVA in 2018; "Sono" at CIAJG Guimarães in 2018; "Cenário," a public sculpture created as part of the Artes à Rua festival with the Póde-Vir-a-Ser association in Évora in 2017; "Hífen-Modo Composto" at CaC in Ponte de Sor in 2016; "É" at Fundação Carmona e Costa, curated by Nuno Faria, in Lisbon in 2016; "Erosão" at Convento Cristo in Tomar in 2015; "Turvo" at Galeria 3+1 in Lisbon in 2014; "Around" at Galeria Quadrum in Lisbon in 2013; "Remanescente" at Galeria 3+1 in Lisbon in 2011; "O Frágil culto do desenho" in Torres Vedras in 2011
