Event Details
ArtCatto presents works by Mark Evans and Rogério Timóteo at their Summer Exhibition at Conrad Algarve. Oustanding artworks brought to you by the leading Algarve art gallery, celebrating its 10 year anniversary this year.
Mark Evans creates unique and breathtaking pieces on leather using knives and scalpels. The exhibition with ArtCatto is his inaugural show in Portugal. A childhood desire to play with knives and a penchant for carving into tree bark inspired Mark Evans to create large-scale micro-sculptures from leather as an adult. Working with blades and knives of varying thickness, Evans carves photorealistic scenes, symbols, and figures into pieces of leather.
Evans works with a surgical precision, taking months to complete a single artwork. By employing leather as both medium and material, he brings its primal, ancient qualities into the modern era.
See the Mark Evans catalogue.
Rogério Timóteo - One of Portugal's leading sculptors, his strong figurative works brilliantly illustrate the human condition. He works mainly in bronze and marble. His work has been displayed in more than 40 solo exhibitions and in more than 300 collective ones in Portugal and abroad. And he is represented in private collections in Portugal and abroad. Coming from a region where extraction and transformation of marble has a strong presence this material naturally became his preferred medium for sculpting, not excluding nevertheless approaches to new materials and techniques, such as bronze and more recently resin.
See the Rogério Timóteo catalogue.
The exhibition is open to the public at Conrad Algarve, near Quinta do Lago during the month of August.
ArtCatto can arrange private viewings of this exhibition and also at their gallery, located in Loulé.
