Opening: Elementary - Martin Paaskesen, Ricardo Passaporte
The duo show 'Elementary' brings together the work of Portuguese artist Ricardo Passaporte and Danish artist Martin Paaskesen, both born in 1987.
Martin Paaskesen (1987, DK) draws inspiration from his childhood memories of Jutland and revisits symbols of his identity with a radical yet playful visual language. His canvases are marked by a distinctive patch technique, bold color palettes, and recurring motifs. Since developing this technique, Paaskesen has embraced a more minimal aesthetic, allowing the raw canvas to play an active role in the final composition. The interaction between painted and unpainted space is central to his recent work, where absence becomes as meaningful as presence.
Ricardo Passaporte (1987, PT) uses imagery from mass media and advertising as a source of inspiration, exploring the symbolic role of found images. Referencing Outsider Art and engaging with the repetitiveness and impulsivity of graffiti, he emphasizes the hand-drawn nature of his creations. Passaporte's work questions the nature of making art and the dichotomy between mass-produced and uniquely singular art objects.
The exhibition runs from 19 June - 13 September 2025.
