"Portuguese-born, London-based Bruno Pacheco uses photography as a starting point for his paintings. His works draw upon a vast archive containing his own photos, or those extracted from a wide range of sources, from newspapers and magazines to the internet, a process shared with an older generation of European painters including Gerhard Richter, Luc Tuymans and Peter Doig.
In 'Shoreline', the artist is not interested in producing a faithful representation. The photograph serves as a ‘model’ which is a subject to a process of transformation into pictorial composition involving light, colour and composition."
