“London Angles #1, 2014” is a sculptural work made of a led tube and chromed steel. The angular shape refers to the architecture of London, which according to the artist is a city made of angles. The neon lights are an integral and recurrent element of Pedro Cabrita Reis’ work; the equilibrium between light and matter is expressed in the balance between architecture and image creating a reality in its own right, instead of reproducing it. The element of the fluorescent light recalls the natural light, often missed in contemporary art spaces.Cabrita Reis’ complex work can be characterised by an idiosyncratic philosophical and poetical discourse embracing a great variety of means: painting, sculpture, photography, drawing, and installations composed of industrial and found materials and manufactured objects. Focused on questions relative to space and memory, his work is based and built on investigations and silences translating painting into architecture, sculpture into space. All the materials are elements that refer to our everyday experience, from the architectural space around us to the energy of human activities and become a work in progress. His compositions are determined by dynamics of potentiality. The ingredients and compositions of the works are structured in order to emanate energy, which is in dialogue with the surrounding people and spaces.
