Ricardo Angélico

Questioning the principle of cataloging, ordering, documenting and interpretating as a basis for the scientific knowledge in the world, Ricardo Angelico (Huambo, Angola, 1973) places in the art work's space a multiplication of a small disjointed narrative fragments, or whose connection is not easily seen. His work has been exhibited throughout Portugal and Spain such as in the exhibitions "Play", "The Aronburg Mystery", Carlos Carvalho Arte Contemporânea, "O Desenho Dito", Casa da Cerca – Centro de Arte Contemporânea, Almada, Portugal, "À volta do papel", Centro de Arte Manuel de Brito, Algés, "Portugal 100 artistas, Acervo. Artistas Portugueses en la Colección Navacerrada", Centro de Arte Alcobendas, Alcobendas, Espanha. His works are held in numerous public and private collections including Culturgest, Lisbon, Portugal, Fundação PLMJ, Lisbon, Portugal, Centro de Arte Manuel de Brito, Algés, Portugal, Colecção Navacerrada, Alcobendas, Spain, Ayuntamiento de Pamplona, Pamplona, Spain.

José Bechara

José Bechara (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, 1957) works on a wide field of research such as space, volumetry, surface, composition showing the result of his investigation through a series of work using painting, drawing, sculpture, photography and installation. The artist often reuses truck canvas tarps, manipulates oxides of carbon, copper and steel to produce diptychs, triptychs or polyptics with different intensities exploring cores, lines and patterns. Based on a strong reference to Brazilian constructivism, understanding it as a process of collective transformation, the work of José Bechara is an example of the potential of visual language for idealization, conception and planning. The artist will present new works in a circular shape, following his new series of paintings created from carbon oxides and copper on truck canvas

The artist had shown his work in various institutions such as: Eva Klabin Foundation, Brazil; Culturgest, Portugal, MEIAC, Spain; Valencian Institute of Modern Art, Spain; MAM Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; Tomie Ohtake Institute, Brazil; Ludwig Museum, Germany, Haus der Kulturen der Welt, Germany; Ludwig Forum Fur Intl Kunst, Germany, and Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, Portugal, among others. He is represented in several collections such as MAM RJ, Gilberto Chateaubriand Collection, Brazil, Center Pompidou, France, Pinacoteca do Estado de São Paulo, Museu Brasil or Ludwig (Koblenz), Germany.

Roland Fischer

"Roland Fischer’s new series “Transhistorical Places" begun in 2018 and is comprised by "photographic works, geometrical figures, such as colored circles, spheres, rectangular elements and other formations, stand on equal footing with photographic details of Brutalist buildings. The latter overlap in part the striking, colorful surfaces, resulting in completely new spatial constructs.
All the series by Roland Fischer that are concerned with Modernist and contemporary architecture have one thing in common: they do not seek to depict the buildings, but strive for “autonomous image creation”. These exciting inventions emerge from assembling real and fictitious parts into a hybrid between “painting” and photography.

Ute Bopp-Schumacher

Since the 1980s, Roland Fischer has been developing different series of work on a solid and consistent career using architecture and portraiture as subjects presenting them on a large scale photographs. The Facades series, for example, attempts to understand architecture as a modernist painting using its formal principles: color, rhythm, shape, shadow, composition, patterns, to show how globalized culture has a common and universal vocabulary. In “New Architectures” the composition is made simultaneously of pictures taken from many vantage points placed in one frame converting the work into an abstract visual photograph.

Roland Fischer‘s lives and works between Munich and Beijing. His work has already been shown in 120 museums and art institutions worldwide including Musée d’art Moderne in Paris, the CGAC in Santiago de Compostela, The Photographers Gallery in London, Museum of Art Architecture and Technology (MAAT) in Lisbon, Museo DA2 in Salamanca, Centre Culturel la Maison Rouge in Paris, Institute d’Art Contemporain in France, Fonds National d’Art Contemporain in Paris (FNAC), Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, Musée d’Art Moderne et Contemporain in Strasbourg; Museum van Hedendaagse Kunst in Antwerp, Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Castilla y Leon (MUSAC). His work is represented in many public and private collections.
