Paintings || Vale do Lobo will feature a bold collection of vibrant paintings from the acclaimed Portuguese artist Gervásio during an exhibition from September 2 until November 3.
Carlos Gervásio, known simply as Gervásio, was born in 1972 in Monchique and from an early age discovered that painting was to be not only an essential part of his life but his full-time occupation.
He left for Lisbon and attended the Escola de Arte where he built on his experience through training and developed his individual style to what it is today. Since then he has exhibited regularly to great acclaim in the Algarve and at the São Mamede gallery in both Lisbon and Porto.
The Spanish critic Carlos Delgado stresses the lyrical expressionism in his work: “The gesture, colour and strength leave a lasting impression full of freshness and spontaneity, fluidity and freedom, abstraction and lyricism.”
The Gervásio exhibition, organised in association with the Galeria São Mamede, will be open Monday to Friday, from 10am to 7pm. Entrance is free.
