Overview

Bringing together a selection of works that is the fruit of a close collaboration between the artist and curator Catherine David, Abstracto, Branco, Tóxico e Volátil is Julião Sarmento 's first major exhibition since his death.

Bringing together a significant set of works that marked his career and whose selection is the fruit of a close collaboration between the artist and curator Catherine David, Abstracto, Branco, Tóxico e Volátil is Julião Sarmento 's first major exhibition since his death.

This was a project which Sarmento fought to realise with extraordinary commitment, with the exhibition layout and the arrangement of the works in the rooms finalised a mere two months prior to his passing. For Julião, the installation of his works in space was an integral part of what he exhibited, since he considered the relationship established between the work, the space that surrounds it, and the spectator to be of vital importance.

Abstracto, Branco, Tóxico e Volátil is an exhibition in which Julião feels very present and in which we are moved not only by the sensuality of his textures and the complexity of his compositions, but also by the enormous plastic and theoretical sophistication of these enigmatic, delicate, perverse images.
