JOSÉ LOUREIRO

Mangualde, Portugal, 1961

FONSECA MACEDO – ARTE CONTEMPORÂNEA

José Loureiro shows in Drawing Room Madrid oil-on-paper drawings in a register that balances from the fantasy expression of the Ácaros series, 2018, to the geometric representation of the Sinapse Morta series, 2015.
The colour, in both series, is always fundamental, strong and bright, sometimes vibrant or transparent.
Maintaining a certain geometric rigor in the drawing, with imperfect lines and angles, combined with a short selection of colours or opting for improbable shapes and all the possibilities of colours, José Loureiro never ceases to surprise us, always maintaining the same consistency.
