Artist:
Julião Sarmento (born 1948 in Lisbon, Portugal; lives and works in Estoril, Portugal).
Materials:
Polyvinyl acetate, pigments, acrylic, acrylic gesso, ink, graphite, and silkscreen print on unprimed cotton canvas.
Description:
“In a new series of collages passages of Wittengstein’s notoriously fragmented philosophical notes on color appear taped to the surfaces flanked by silkscreened images of a Modernist house in Silver Lake, Los Angeles and seemingly unrelated photographic images. Deliberately constructed, artificial and controlled the montage of these disjunctive elements resists coherent narrative leaving the viewer in a state of psychological limbo.”
