A R T I S T O F S U M M E R 2 0 1 7Duarte Vitória’s figures are invariably badgered. Deeply intense, they manifest a ferociousness – badgered too – which gives us the impression of standing before human cages, spaces for the constraint of movement. In a way, the figures we behold threaten us, as if they could be enticed against us in the likes of famished beasts.
The canvases – cages indeed – provide us with some measure of security during the spectacle, something within the scope of the bizarre, a human circus of tremendous force exposed in a dangerous pallor which underlines the suspicion of blood, its urgent velocity, the accentuation of breath. www.duartevitoria.com |
