GIL HEITOR CORTESÃO – “UMBRA”  Opens at Carbon 12  19 March – 5 May, 2018 Alserkal Avenue, Dubai

Umbra (19 March to 05 May 2018) is Portuguese painter Cortesão’s fourth solo show with Carbon 12. Shadows, as the Latin title suggests, are complex denizens of these works, both discursively and materially. In Cortesão’s palette, shadow is a projection, beamed from some spectral world. A grey eeriness wafts through the forsaken interiors of the Passage series, as well as the cell-like confines of the Room works. Color, an occasional Cortesão obsession, has succumbed to a shadowy chill.

Just under 2 weeks to catch GIL HEITOR CORTESÃO’s incredible reverse painting in a group exhibition at Sismógrafo in  Portugal

"If I had a magic carpet" Until July 29, 2017

Having studied at FBAUL, Lisbon and Licenciatura em Artes Plasticas, Pintura, Cortesão's largely Europe-based exhibitions display his realistic painting technique of architecture, both interiors and exteriors, which exude a tone of melancholy stillness, as though abandoned, but not forgotten. Cortesão disrupts the illusion with explorative paint splatters and surface manipulation of his paintings on plexiglass.
