Last days to visit Pedro Cabrita Reis’ first solo exhibition with the gallery, on view at Buchmann Berlin until July 27, 2024
The exhibition, Wunderkammer, brings together a broad selection of works by Pedro Cabrita Reis from recent years: Objects made from found materials that refer to inhabited and uninhabited spaces; white earthenware sculptures that speak of the forces to which the clay has been subjected; paintings on both canvas and paper that seek to be understood as explorations of the medium itself; and figurative paintings in which complex emotionalities are negotiated. Three large sculptures made of aluminum profiles complement this lavish exhibition.
The large aluminum sculptures refer to imaginary cities and natural growth. The exhibition emphasizes the various aspects of the artist’s painterly work, showing works on canvas from the series “Landscapes”, “The dark self-portraits”, and the sublime works in oil on paper from “Considerations on the Landscape”.
Pedro Cabrita Reis (born 1956 in Lisbon, Portugal) is one of the leading visual artists of his generation and one of Portugal’s most internationally recognized artists. The artist’s multifaceted works in a variety of media have a haunting presence and poetic power and are represented in the collections of many important national and international museums, including Tate Modern in London, the Gulbenkian in Lisbon, the Arts Club of Chicago, the Hamburger Kunsthalle, the Serralves Museum in Porto, the Museum of Art, Architecture and Technology (MAAT) in Lisbon, S.M.A.K. in Ghent, Centre Pompidou in Paris, IVAM in Valencia, CAC in Málaga, Kunst Museum Winterthur in Switzerland, the Jumex Collection in Mexico City, the Ontario Art Gallery in Toronto and the Museo Reina Sofia in Madrid.
