Pedro Cabrita Reis – "without sorrow of heart"

Pedro Cabrita Reis is one of Portugal's most internationally renowned artists, with numerous works featured in European museums. Discovered in the 1980s, his work quickly expanded from painting (both abstract and figurative) to sculpture and installation, always taking into account the architectural or urban spaces in which it is displayed. In MAAT's Oval Gallery, Cabrita Reis will present a huge painting installation and, on the ramp leading down to this totalising and enveloping space, he will show a vast and varied set of small pieces, suites of drawings, sculptures, assemblages, and series of other floral, landscape, and figurative paintings.
