This apparent displacement has been used in distinct domains of knowledge such as astrology, philosophy, linguistic to web design, as well as psychoanalysis and photography. In “PARALLAX”, Aires de Gameiro reveals his quest for the objects’ inner strength and visual esthetics. By rearranging processes, the Artist creates a set of pictorial and tridimensional works in a mutual reflection: the genesis of one is the essence of the other. In this expanded field, the Artist materializes the intersecting zone of contours and volumes. The presented abstract paintings carry an illusion of space behind the literal plane; intimately related with the sculptures as spatial expansions. Aires de Gameiro presents a sharp and precise exhibition, in which compositional relations empower sensory experiences on the beholder. | MORE on AIRES DE GAMEIRO The expressive weight of Aires de Gameiro’s art is carried by apprehending sensory experiences of spatial domains. Born in 1989, Lisbon, Aires de Gameiro meticulously experienced crafting techniques since an early age. Raised in a carpentry household introduced him to capture accurate perceptions of matter and forms. Aires de Gameiro graduated from the Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of Lisbon and studied Painting at the Fine Arts Academy of Venice (Accademia di Belle Arti di Venezia). His works muster pictorial and sculptural expressions, tensioning the perception of reality.
