Descripción de la Exposición

Isaque Pinheiro occupies a very special place in the world of contemporary sculpture. Unaffected by the tendency to revisit post-conceptual precepts that is an increasingly marked feature of the creative landscape of 21st century art, he immerses himself in the materiality of manual work, which reveals the unfolding of time through a mixture of humour, surprise, expanded visuality, and a critical approach towards the history of art. Using essentially symbolically charged materials - such as iron and marble - his artistic vision expands the boundaries of figurative representation and abstract self-referentiality. In this exhibition - The Greeks and the Trojans - Isaque Pinheiro presents a series of works that use PVC blinds presented as if they were paintings, thus establishing a paradoxical relationship with the deep-rooted perception of the painting as window on the world. In this case, these blinds - that are normally used to obstruct our view of the outside world – serve as windows on the world. In his earlier, initial experience with this material, he used it as a supporting structure for a performance, in which he inscribed the word democracy through incisions that were duly combined with the slats, thereby rendering the word legible. He now complements the presence of this manipulable work with two other works (Untitled and Majority x Extreme, both produced in 2018) that stand out because they have been carefully framed. As in other situations, Isaque Pinheiro deftly convenes a deviant potential of the perception of movement, which in this exhibition is frozen, but is underlined by the presence of photographic documentation of the aforementioned performance. Making the certainties of reason oscillate through the wiles of vision, works such as Outside In and Blank, produced in 2018, refer to actions and situations of painting and writing - the mask of a decorative motif and a sheet of paper - that he has petrified in the marble. Small monuments to the paradoxes of art as a system of floating representation, in which we imagine the matrix-based development of the unrepeatable gesture. They are conceptual traps for full visual enjoyment. Miguel von Hafe Pérez ------------------------------------------ Isaque Pinheiro (PT b. Lisboa 1972). Lives and works in Porto.
