José Loureiro’s (Mangualde, 1961) paintings reveal mobility, vibrations and a broad spectrum of pictorial effects. Exploring painting as a medium and abstraction as an approach, Loureiro uses a visual language strictly based on shape, form, colour and line. Untitled is simultaneously precise, physical and expressive: the brushstrokes are rigorous but nonetheless demonstrate their manual nature. It draws on Loureiro’s research, namely on the pictorial space and on its multiplication. The painting may be viewed as a manifestation of the internal geometry of any canvas, usually a rectangle formed by straight lines and right angles.
