This constellation of imaginary landscapes rooted in reality highlights the serial processes that characterise the artist\u2019s work, whilst foregrounding the energetic and poetic force of each piece, particularly his latest large-format works. Distilling some of the key aspects of lyrical abstraction and colour field painting, Costa\u2019s oeuvre also conveys an architectural sensibility through elaborate spatial compositions that combine formal, geometric, and graphic elements. Driven by a dynamic, fruitful tension between contrasting forces, his pictorial universe balances rational structures with sensory impressions, while also merging two strands of abstraction with a pop vein and vestiges of figuration. The exhibition thus invites the viewer into a threefold exercise of recognition, free association, and contemplation.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"flx_lyt__text_small","flx_lyt__text_small":"<p><strong>Katherine Sirois<\/strong> t<span data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\">rained in Art History in Montreal and Paris, Katherine Sirois is a Lisbon-based curator whose practice explores the intersections of contemporary art, art history, and the history of ideas. Through a distinctive curatorial approach, she mainly creates thematic exhibitions that uncover unexpected dialogues between contemporary production and the legacies of 20th-century art. Her research process results in original constellations that challenge conventional narratives and invite new ways of seeing. Since 2019, Katherine has curated numerous exhibitions in collaboration with a wide range of cultural partners, from independent art spaces and non-profit organisations to public and private institutions. With the support of DGArtes, she conceived the group exhibitions Camouflage and Shapeshifters.
