Nuno Gil constructs his works using a myriad selection of cut outs, the majority of which have also been painted, as has the backdrop on which he has mounted them. Using a wide range of materials which also vary in depth helps him create an extraordinarily complex surface.Looking at the intricacy of each finished work which takes the artist three to four months to complete, it’s as if he has taken the universe of the late Matisse’s works which feature exclusively vibrant coloured cut outs and pushed that experiment with the language of art as far as it can go. The finished pictures are full of joy and the pure pleasure of creation.
