Metamorphoses VI Print

When we come across Pedro Girão's artistic practice, we realize that we are in the presence of an eclectic artist. This can be seen when we see his works of painting, sculpture, drawing or engraving. When looking at his work, we are confronted with a variety of languages and forms, which reveal to us an artistic universe that unfolds between figuration and the abstract, what is organic and geometric, between the rigor of order and the apparent chaos of a dynamic gestualism. But not only. The diversity of materials he uses, oil paint, acrylic, household paint, stainless steel, iron, copper or plaster, reveal in an unshakable and unequivocal way his belief that there is a specific and individual approach, both from a form and technical perspective, for each new topic he decides to address. This principle can be translated into the phrase “The subject calls for the medium”. Each new series of works implies a return to zero point. Nothing is taken for granted. Faced with a new idea, the challenge of finding the “right” formal language that best translates his vision into an image that for now only exists in his mind, is the stimulus that feeds his creative drive. Metamorphoses VI, is a series of 48 Monotype engravings with a drypoint base on copper. Each series of Metamorphoses is the result of a specific process: a copper plate is spontaneously scratched with a dry point (this is the most important phase, as the resulting lines will suggest, not only the images but also the theme ), then the motif is painted on the plate, resulting in an image that will be printed and that can only happen once, which makes each engraving a unique copy (one of one). It is always the same plate that serves as the basis for all 48 engravings in this series. Dimensions: Paper 30x35cm Image 17x22,5cm
