A new exhibition concept
The exhibition project De L’art à La Villa, Pourquoi Pas ? was developed by Art Work Circle Portugal Experience and La Villa.
Pedro Fragoso's exhibition at La Villa restaurant represents an innovative concept of bringing art into unconventional spaces. Instead of traditional galleries and museums, AWC has chosen a more informal and accessible environment to present works of art, allowing art to infuse everyday life.
Visitors are invited to immerse themselves in the artistic world of Pedro Fragoso through his series of works of art in which, in the words of the artist :
"The idea that the void contains all existence and time brings me to the aesthetic moment that is simultaneity.
Quantum physics explains that an electron, by itself, is not visible; it needs to collide with others until an atom is formed. Through this fact, I found the poetics of this narrative, "the misalignment of electrons." I decided, then, that each image in this series would be a kind of playground for this misalignment, where some elements of nature and architecture mix with objects from my childhood. This moment is also one of non-existence, which has always existed, where everything sprouts and happens. Therefore, this work attempts to create the sensation of randomness, speed, and even instantaneity."
" "The whole Earth is open to the wise, because the homeland of a virtuous soul is the entire universe. "
