Additional Information

Diogo Pimentão is one of the most outstanding artists of his
generation. Drawing and graphite — a material strongly associated
with it — are the anchors of his artistic practice. Pimentão has
however expanded the definition of the medium by exploring
its relation with the third dimension, with sculpture.
Sudden (relate), 2014, consists of four sheets of paper covered in
graffiti and folded in such a way that they materialize four objects.
These are then positioned side by side, vertically and horizontally.
This configuration is not predefined. It only appears after the objects
are formed. In the case of this work, a square is suggested.
The artist’s recent solo exhibitions include ‘Disequilibrium
Displacement’, IMMA – Irish Museum of Modern Art, Dublin
(2015); ‘Residual’, MACE – Museu de Arte Contemporânea
de Elvas, Elvas, Portugal (2014); and ‘Les Intrus’, Centre
d’art de la Ferme du Buisson, Noisiel, France (2011).
