A Broken Line*

Pedro Cabrita Reis's first Canadian solo exhibition just opened this past weekend.  I couldn't wait to go and see it.  Photography was not allowed unfortunately.  So I took these pictures through the glared gallery windows.  Sorry for the substandard quality.

* A Broken Line is the title of Cabrita Reis's light installation on view.

Industrial Cabrita Reis

Known for his use of industrial materials, Pedro Cabrita Reis sees his work as an extension of painting.

When I use glass or fluorescent tubes, plaster, wood, steel or poured paint it's still about the vocabulary of painting.  The materials I use, like glass for example, imply formal and conceptual qualities of transparency, opacity, light, verticality, dealing with... the lexicon of the classical approach to painting. - PCR
