Acclaimed Lisbon-based artist Pedro Cabrita Reis (b. 1956) presents a group of new works at Camden Arts Centre, in his first solo exhibition in London.

Pedro Cabrita Reis has risen to prominence over the past decade for a body of work that embraces painting, drawing, sculpture and installation. Underpinning his practice is an interest in architecture as a means of defining territories and a repository of memories and associations. According to Cabrita Reis, architecture has replaced nature as the primary means through which we understand and relate to the world around us. His recent large-scale works typically make use of found, recycled or manufactured materials which, with their references to the everyday built environment, are loaded with memories and associations, both individual and collective.

At Camden Arts Centre a series of connected sculptures link Galleries 1, 3 and the Central Space. In these works, a framework of steel girders is combined with found architectural elements, including panes of glass, a door, fluorescent lighting tubes and a table salvaged from the Centre’s workshop. The exhibition also includes Cabrita Reis’ trademark paintings on glass, in which standard double-glazing units are mounted in aluminium frames, to create works which reference both abstract painting and architectural construction.

Pedro Cabrita Reis has had numerous solo exhibitions at European venues, including Kunsthalle Bern; Le Grand Cafe, Saint-Nazaire; Frac Bourgogne, Dijon; Tracy Williams Ltd., New York (2004); Kestner Gesellschaft, Hanover; BALTIC, Gateshead (2002); Magasin 3, Stockholm and Galleria Civica d’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea, Torino (2001). He represented Portugal at the 2003 Venice Biennale with the installation Longer Journeys.
