Building on these images, his 2019 series, Variações de correntes em cor (Chain Variations in Color), boasts compositions with outlines of chain and barbed wire rendered in moody, dark washes of watercolor. Gestural and atmospheric, these evocative pictures have a delicacy and lightness that belies that of the materials they describe.Exhibitions
