The meaning of history
Aluminum sheet, painted with acrylic and varnish.
140 x 90 x15 cm (dimensions of each piece)
Artist´s Name: Paulo Canilhas. About the artist.
Brief Description
It is a diptych that conceptually addresses an unavoidable topic of our time: the war in Ukraine.
These pieces attempt to show the two sides of the scale, where one side defends History, while the other attacks it, under the shadow of enchanting Stories that enchant no one but themselves.
The delicate application of colors is meant to suggest that, deep down, we are more alike than different, while the graphic element representing “History” and “Story” illustrates the distinction that is currently dividing these two peoples in conflict, revolving around narratives that seem devoid of meaning in the light of our contemporaneity.
And because this work deals with narratives, I chose this medium: aluminum sheets in an aesthetic form that recurs throughout my work, grouped under the series titled "Tales of Silence.”
