Walking her Dog
on view: APRIL 5 - MAY 3, 2008
Opening Reception: April 5, 6 - 8 pm
LAMONTAGNE GALLERY is pleased to announce a new exhibition by NUNO DE CAMPOS.
In his fourth solo show in Boston, Nuno De Campos presents a new series of detailed graphite drawings and oil paintings titled, Walking her Dog. In this new body of work De Campos creates thoughtfully detailed landscapes in oil painting and graphite. The works are set in Fort Green Park, Brooklyn on a morning after a fresh snow storm. The characters leave no trace, allowing the viewer to feel the invigorating first steps into a wintry scene. This natural environment feels slightly remote and bare, and lingers with expectation set outside a bustling neighborhood. Like the independent war prisoners honored by the towering monument in the old park, the protagonist of these brisk wanderings become trapped within their own memory. Nuno De Campo's work has been featured in exhibitions at Galeria Casa Triangul (Brazil),The National Portrait Gallery at the Smithsonian Institute (DC), Greenberg Van Doren (NY), Howard Yezersky Gallery (Boston), LFL (NY). De Campos has received many awards and grants including a NYFA Fellowship Grant, Pollock - Krasner Foundation Grant and a Massachusetts Cultural Council Grant.
Nuno De Campos received his Masters from SMFA, Boston in 1999. The artist was born in Portugal, and currently resides in Brooklyn, NY.
