Cosmic and original joy

A certain minimalism in the style of Ângelo de Sousa characterizes the drawings, gouaches, and watercolors presented by Rui Horta Pereira (b. 1975) in 2019 at Fundação D. Luís I, which considered elements that the artist deems fundamental: "place, line, and space." The works he created during an artistic residency in Algarve are the result, in the artist's words, of the encounter between "the effect that the sun causes, burning the pigments of the paper" and the profiles of a stone "multiplied" into compositions of intense chromaticism that are based precisely on the dynamics between spaces and lines, delimiting dynamic forms that seem animated by movement, a place of cosmic and original joy.

ARTIST'S STATEMENT ABOUT THE SCREENPRINTS - "ESTRATIGRÁFICO" SERIES

The screenprint result that now reveals itself is the fruit – and the word is not in vain – of the encounter between the work I develop in collaboration with the effect that the sun causes, burning the pigments of the paper, and the challenge launched by Filipe Vasconcelllos to create a label for Morgado do Quintão in 2019. Thus, a stone extracted from the territory and dissected into various "stratigraphic" profiles, which were then multiplied, played a mediating role in this process, resulting in compositions of an expanded chromatic palette. It can be said that the visual result is the fruit of a maturation of time and draws its creative essence from it.

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
