3 + 1 Contemporary Art has the pleasure to present more drawings of houses. for you, a solo show by Carlos Nogueira (n. 1947, Mozambique).

Carlos Nogueira is an artist with a vast and solid body of work, built from a connection with materials that range from the weight of iron to the lightness of the dust of charcoal. With an artistic path dedicated to sculpture and architecture, Nogueira’s work inhabits the place where those subjects cross with drawing, language, and light, as well as some opposites—silence, shadows, and darkness.

In more drawings of houses. for you, the artist presents works within one of the themes that characterizes his practice: the exploration of the idea of house. In the space of the gallery, the artist will work between lines, black, white, sections, and drawings in the space that are inhabited by wind, evoking the materiality of objects (but not only). For the artist the definition of house is not only material but also immaterial, affect, time. Were these not drawings of houses, directed at someone.

Translation: Susana Pomba

Carlos Nogueira (1947, Mozambique) lives and works in Lisbon. His practice is marked by the incessant investigation on the relations between sculpture and architecture, time and light, space and body, word and image. The theme of the house is present throughout all of Carlos Nogueira’s work, manifesting itself lyrically through the titles or the materials meticulously chosen by the artist – iron, wood, concrete, glass, whitewash and charcoal. Nogueira studied Sculpture at Escola Superior de Belas-Artes, Porto and painting studies at Escola Superior de Belas-Artes, Lisbon. Fellow of Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation (1982-1983), of the Secretary of State for Culture (1989-1990) and the Luso-American Development Foundation (1989).
