Rui Freire – Fine Art presents The Endless Summer, a collective exhibition bringing together works by modern and contemporary artists, crossing languages, media, and geographies.
The show invites you on a journey where abstraction, gesture, and memory intertwine in a sensorial evocation of summer, not as a season, but as a state of mind.
Highlights include the mental compositions of Maria Helena Vieira da Silva, with L’Inondation (1954), and the tactile lyricism of Bela Silva's ceramics and gouaches, such as Sunset II (2025).
The precise and silent painting of Pedro Quintas establishes a counterpoint to the gestural work of Jorge Nesbitt, whose figures evoke inner mythologies.
Bruno Castro Santos presents his Mandala series, with works folded in handmade paper that merge structure and chromatic vibration.
Jean-Charles de Ravenel's collages, made from botanical engravings, old maps, and modernist icons, create constellations of memory and avant-garde.
The archaic and sensual line of Roberto Ruspoli is revealed in works on paper like Achille and Paris, while Sebastião Lobo explores sculpture in copper wire, balancing suspension and lightness.
The historical presence of Árpád Szenes, with Le Cercle (1979), and the totemistic verticality of Rui Matos's sculpture complete this cartography of gesture and form.
