Sem Titulo - Lisboa, Portugal - Abstract Public Sculptures on Waymarking.com

The sculpture "Sem Titulo" (Untitled) by Fernando Conduto, is part of a series of works where the artist transposes the pieces within an aesthetic of abstraction, approaching more and more of geometric operations with a daring translation.

Facing the cold functionality of buildings, Conduto was able to take on the nature of these spaces, mingling in the linearity of the objects the geometry of their sculptural synthesis.

This work is an important reference to the level of formal composition in a minimalist reading. The linearity reaches its extreme in the aesthetic decorativism wich is shown only when it comes to pure form elementarism. Above all, there´s place for the concentration and penetration of light-color, where there are more bright or dull areas, more transparent or more opaque, more fragile or heavier, depending on the angle from which one perceives the piece.

The choice of material (metal) is also attached to its color, especially when it relates to its surroundings, since the piece is placed on a lawn. Conduto´s works are usually open, not based on pedestals, we present fixed yet ready to fly, cut in space, after releasing the attraction force that hold´s it to the ground.
