RUI MOREIRA – LA NUIT
2014-06-02Rui Moreira’s work takes its roots in his travels and he chooses his destinations with great care. From India to the South Moroccan desert, and through different regions of his native country Portugal, he carries out an intense work of observation and investigation. The artist tries to feel the physical and psychological changes inherent to the territories he visits. This intense feeling of time is at the heart of the structure of Rui Moreira’s drawings. Thus, they truly become inner landscapes, captured states of mind. Back in his studio, Rui Moreira tries to recreate always renewed propitious conditions to artistic creation, like what he has been living during his travels. Indeed, his works result from repeating a simple action: the artist patiently, lengthily, tirelessly fills each contours until his body is exhausted. The aim is to loose every point of reference until creating a more deep visual experience.
