Chimney - amamede´s painting
Acrylic on canvas
80X145
This canvas is dominated by tubular and rounded elements which align vertically, suggesting chimneys on a hypothetical deck. The depicted objects are organised into a jigsaw puzzle of dynamic equilibrium, in which reds, blues, browns and yellows separate into challenging colour schemes. As in a complex mechanical system, strange chimneys can be made out on the imaginary deck, imprisoned by chance in the mesh of the swaying nausea of the sea’s movements.
Nesta tela preponderam elementos tubulares e arredondados que se alinham verticalmente sugerindo chaminés de um hipotético convés. Os objectos figurados organizam-se como um puzle em equilíbrio dinâmico onde vermelhos, azuis, castanhos e amarelos se separam em cromatismos desafiantes. Como num sistema mecânico complexo distinguem-se estranhas chaminés de convés imaginários aprisionados ao acaso nas malhas da náusea baloiçante do movimento marinho.
Esta tela pertence ao catálogo de pintura da Galeria da Albuquerque e Lima e pode ser adquirida na referida galeria de arte.
