ANTONIO BOKEL "ALIGN"
TEMPORARY RESIDENCE AT CIDADELA ART DISTRICT

The line, path, direction, route, trend ... the act to align.
As a result of a three-week residency at Pestana Citadel Art District, Antonio Bokel leaves us with a solo exhibition, "Align", which will be presented in the Project Room, form October the 3rd until the 31th. "Align" is the result of a search in the field of duality substance / immaterial, one based search on a line transition and more subtle fields in which Antonio Bokel introduced through the installation and drawing, on a constant (impossible) attempt of  alignment within the physical space and matter. Here, the mortality existence and human consciousness occurs in the fact that however the line may seem perfect, in one’s eyes will always have the beauty of the human trait of imperfection.

Born in 1978, in Rio de Janeiro and graduated in Graphic Design, was in 2003 that Antonio Bokel  held his first solo exhibition in Ken's Art Gallery in Florence, Italy, where he lived and attended the photography and history art courses. His formation continued in Rio de Janeiro, where he attended classes od  live modelling painting classic painting  and art with the professors, Bandeira de Mello, João Magalhães and Luis Ernesto. Today, after more than 15 years since the beginning of his career, his works were already present in many galleries and urban interventions in Brazil, but also in Amsterdam, Portugal, the Dominican Republic and New York. Antonio Bokel works are also part of the major art collections of Brazil, as Gilberto Chateaubriand’s, the BGA Investments or at Rio de Janeiro Modern Art Museum. Currently, the artist is represented by Mercedes Viegas gallery in Rio de Janeiro.

Diogo Bolota, born in Lisbon, moved to London in 2013. Making a BA in Architecture at FA-UTL influenced is conception of drawing practice. A special interest for drawing and painting made him go to England to continue his studies in arts which were first started before architectural studies in FBAUL. There, he did a Master in Drawing at University of Arts London which terminated in September. His approach to work, in a fine art context, mixtures the knowledge acquired at FBAUL and at FA-UTL. Between going to Cidadela Art District and finishing his Master he did Sabotage at Maus Hábitos(Porto) and a project room at A Cunha(Lisbon).

Diogo Bolota nasceu em Lisboa(1988) onde trabalha. É licenciado em estudos arquitectónicos pela FA-UTL(2013) pelo que a prática do desenho sempre foi predominante na sua formação. Iniciou-a na Faculdade de Belas-Artes de Lisboa ao frequentar o curso de Pintura por dois anos(2008-2009). Em 2013 mudou-se para Londres a fim de desenvolver Mestrado em Desenho pela University of Arts of London. Entre projetos recentes consta a participação num espaço expositivo dos Maus Hábitos com o happening  Sabotagem (Janeiro, 2015); concretizou ainda este ano o project room S/ Ponto de Fuga em A Cunha (Lisboa, Maio).

Add Fuel is Portuguese visual artist and illustrator Diogo Machado (1980). A former graphic designer, his recent artistic practice has been focused on reinterpreting and playing with the language of traditional tile design, and that of the Portuguese tin-glazed ceramic azulejo in particular. Blending traditional and contemporary elements, his original vector-based designs and stencil-based street art reveal an impressive complexity and a masterful attention to detail. Based on a combination of tesselations that create balance from symmetrical repetitions and visual illusion techniques such as trompe-l'œil, his multi-layered patterned compositions create a poetic rhythm that plays with the viewer's perception and the possibilities of interpretation. He has been showcasing his work in both solo and group exhibitions since 2006, as well as participating in some of the world's leading urban art events.

Ex-designer gráfico, a sua prática artística recente tem-se concentrado em reinterpretar e brincar com a linguagem tradicional do azulejo, e em particular aquele de origem portuguesa. Mesclando elementos tradicionais e contemporâneos, as suas originais criações de base vectorial e intervenções de rua com recurso ao stencil revelam uma impressionante complexidade e uma mestria na atenção ao detalhe. Com base numa combinação de tesselações que criam harmonia a partir de repetições simétricas e técnicas de ilusão visual como o trompe-l'œil, as suas composições de padrões multi-dimensionais criam um ritmo poético que joga com a percepção do observador e as possibilidades de interpretação. Desde 2006 tem exposto o seu trabalho em mostras individuais e colectivas, assim como participado em alguns dos principais eventos mundiais de arte urbana.

GUILHERME GAFI "DEPRIVATION"
TEMPORARY RESIDENCE AT CIDADELA ART DISTRIC

Guilherme’s observations showcase a dispute about true value of space, real estate speculation and our own presence within the big “megacities”. The artist questions and observes the manufacturing of our own faceless acts. Using classical techniques such as watercolours, mixed with less noble and ephemeral materials like packaging tape, Guilherme creates a dialogue with the viewer. The artistpresents an unbalanced hierarchy of urban megacities and the visual urban chaos as a paradox in a coherent manner. His installations, photographs and videos show a notion of territory by placing urban tick marks in natural areas and protected landscapes, creating a visual controversy where the amount per square meter is offered as.

Guilherme Augusto Gafi (1986) was born in São Paulo, Brazil, where he still lives and works. With a degree in Fine Arts from the FAINC, early on the artist became interested in the urban development and dialogue, using visual semantics emerging from the chaos of urban aesthetics and semiotics of the places he grew up. Fed by one of the intrinsic characteristics of the mega city, the urban visual noise, the artist created a whole dialogue based on “non-identities” and ‘graphic codes’ present in everyday life of the urban pedestrian. Those codes are in general invisible and unknowingly consumed by those who are part of the urban alienation dynamics. In places where speed symbolises a supposed development, the time, space and sense of ownership dictate what quality of life is inevitably associated with — speed, traffic, number of likes or real estate. Guilherme Augusto Gafi portrays the anonymous figures of this process — faceless workers without a present identity caught in the urban jungle. Guilherme’s observations showcase a dispute about true value of space, real estate speculation and our own presence within the big “megacities”.

HEBERTH SOBRAL "VIOLÊNCIA NÃO É BRICADEIRA"
TEMPORARY RESIDENCE AT CIDADELA ART DISTRICT

Born in Minas Gerais in 1984 the ‘Mineiro’ Heberth Sobral always been interested in art, later making up one  that puts a contentious topics of everyday life under discussion. He began his artistic career when he made a photography course that led him to be invited by Vik Muniz to work as his assistant and remains so to this day. Heberth develops its own projects using the support woodcuts, paintings, drawings, notes and dolls to build their own language, always focused on the representation of everyday life which addresses issues of behavior, thoughts and acts performed through a culture. Doing something always present in the lives of all the artist's idea is to bring the viewer into of his work through a memory.

Paulo Brighenti (Lisboa, 1969) vive e trabalha em Lisboa. O seu trabalho de pintura e desenho combina a diluição de motivos reconhecíveis e outros de sugestão abstracta. A interdependência de movimentos antagónicos é manifestada no trabalho de Paulo Brighenti através da permuta de valores positivos e negativos, zonas de luz e penumbra, e a alternância entre pequena e grande escala. Em 2002 ganhou o Prémio Revelação Fundação Arpad Sczenes – Vieira da Silva, Lisboa. Expõe desde a década de 1990. Entre as exposições individuais destacam-se: Skiin, Nässjö Konstall, Nässjö, Suécia (2015); Pó, Fundação Carmona e Costa, Lisboa; Pó, Rooster Gallery, Nova Iorque, EUA (2014); A Grande Fogueira, Appleton Square, Lisboa; Gelo, TMG, Guarda, e Chama Dupla, Galeria Baginski (2013); Negativland, Galeria Baginski (2010); No Means No, CAV- Centro Artes Visuais de Coimbra, Coimbra; Corpo Negro, Sala do Veado, MHN, Lisboa (2011); The Radiohead Series Galeria Baginski (2006). Das exposições colectivas destacam-se Animalia e Natureza na Colecção do CAM, Centro de Arte Moderna – FCG, curadoria de Isabel Carlos e Patrícia Rosas (2015);Sincronias: Artistas Portugueses na Colecção António Cachola, MEIAC, Badajoz (2013); A culpa não é minha: Obras da Colecção António Cachola, Museu Colecção Berardo, Lisboa, curadoria de Eric Corne; Personal Freedom – Bienal Portugal Arte’10 comissariado por Johannes Van der Beek, Lisboa (2010); participação no Art Algarve com dois murais site-specific, Centro Cultural de Lagos, curadoria de Miguel Amado (2009); mural site-specific, Fundação Carmona e Costa, Lisboa (2008); Últimos Dias e Sete Artistas ao Décimo Mês, Centro de Arte Moderna – Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian, Lisboa (1996); Guardi, Centro Cultural de Belém, Lisboa (2003). O seu trabalho está representado em diversas colecções institucionais, nacionais e internacionais, das quais se destacam o Centro de Arte Moderna da Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian, Lisboa; Banco de España, Madrid, ES; CGAC – Centro Galego de Arte Contemporáneo, Santiago de Compostela, ES; Colecção António Cachola, Fundação Carmona e Costa; Colecção PLMJ; Fundação Ilídio Pinho, Porto, Fundação Arpad Szenes – Vieira da Silva, Lisboa.

Ricardo Passaporte is a portuguese artist, born in 1987 in Lisbon. Passaporte bows to Abstract Expressionism with his obvious focus on process and the intensely expressive gesture that runs throught his work. His paintings appear to be non-objective investigations of the line separating painting from sculpture. We can see the gestures, the movement becomes painting and its subject matter. His work gives value to an urban experience, recreated in parallels signs where the material itself and the movement are the main focus. His processes are only seemingly disoriented, however; the artist clearly cultivates methods by which he provokes coincidence and tempts the unexpected. He is also interested in the immediacy of the materials and sometimes on the use of spray paint. In this way pictures are produced to retain a high degree of uncertainty.

Ricardo Passaporte é um artista português, nascido em 1987 em Lisboa. Passaporte apresenta-se ao expressionismo abstracto com o seu foco óbvio sobre o processo de criação. As suas pinturas parecem ser investigações não-objectivas de uma linha que separa a pintura da escultura. Podemos ver os gestos, o movimento torna-se pintura. O seu trabalho dá valor a uma experiência urbana, onde o material em si e o movimento são os focos principais das suas peças. Os seus processos de criação são só apontamentos desorientados, contudo; o artista cultiva claramente os métodos pelos quais ele provoca coincidências e tenta o inesperado. Ricardo está também interessado no imediatismo dos materiais e, por vezes, o uso de tinta de spray. Desta forma são produzidas imagens de forma a manter um elevado grau de incerteza.
