António Júlio Santos Almeida

Modern and Contemporary works, up to the present day

"You'll be surrounded by original art works...
You may consulte the library full of catalogues. But most important: Ask the host.
You'll meet an iconic art supporter in Portugal since decades who can tell you each and every story behind the works you see and more... "

José Escada

Pedrinhas e Ossinhos
signed/ dated 1974

UWE LINDAU
(DE 1950-2022)
Der Geräderte
signed/ dated 1989
mixed media on wood
168 x 262cm
1979 Karlsruhe's Art Academy under Markus Lüpertz. IWKA group in the 80's with Georg Schalla and Ralf Bühler which "saved the building" and led to ZKM Museum.
Lindau devours huge history books, plays piano dramatically, has an accurate humour and a deep critic sense of mankind violence capacity and it's hypocrisy such as the horrors of the Holocaust or the Inquisition.
He never leaves his studio:
-"THERE'S NO TIME - I HAVE TO REACT!!!" strongly over his boards on infinite layers.
Würth is one of his biggest collectors.

"I'm not painting according to the established rules, you'll have to say that I'm exploding - occasionally - like a volcano - sleeping a hundred years and then ...
I do not listen to music when I paint - the TV is rushing to me.
Leonardo inspires me... I love piloting battles, but also the desert". Uwe Lindau.

Nelson Cardoso
(BR 1958)
The Gambler
signed/ dated 2005
cardboard construction on wood
31 x 27 x 15 cm
1980 - 83 Studied Painting and Sculpture at AR.CO Art School in Lisbon under Graça Costa Cabral. In 1988 represented Portugal in the Iwate-Machi Stone Sculpture Symposium - Japan, under Minoru NIIZUMA.
One of his biggest installations belongs to the Berardo Collection in Lisbon. Last solo show was Alquimia (Na Tasca), catalogue by Rajele Jain, Travessa da Ermida - Belém, Lisbon 2017.
Cardoso reflects the joy and drama(???) of SUBURBAN cultures of the Mega-Polis with it's common people.
Lately he focuses also on the lack of straight communication due to too much technology devices everywhere.
"We are reminded of the significance of companions, community, togetherness, bodies. This is also another aspect: the meaning of bodies in the communication process In today’s time of post- and trans-human concepts and virtual messengers." Rajele Jain.
