CABRITA REIS @P28/P31
“Pedro Cabrita Reis, born in 1956 in Lisbon, is one of the most significant Portuguese artists alive today. His complex oeuvre encompasses a variety of media: painting, sculpture, and site-specific installations composed of found and manufactured objects. Often employing simple and common materials, his works touch on issues of space, architecture, and memory, with a suggestive power of association that goes beyond the visual to a metaphorical level. Pedro Cabrita Reis’s work brings together the subjective individual conscience and everyday life, thus inducing a reconstruction of individual and collective memory, creating an expansion of meaning, and proposing a reconstruction of the world.”
