Portuguese Visual Artist: LUIS DOURADO
Barcelona-based, Oporto-born Luis Dourado creates fantastical and mysterious sci-fi tinged compositions. The illustrator and visual artist works primarily with photomontage to produce pieces that turn reality on its head. Manipulating images to the point that they take on a new and almost hallucinatory form, his vivid and abstract digital collages strike a disorientating chord. Famous faces are obscured, dismantled and reconstructed in geometric designs and black and white photos of times forgotten take on new life with an injection of digitally-imposed, rainbow-hued auras. Almost nighmares, the lack of eyes in his pieces gave dark vibes to reveal someone's new character, reminds me the fantastic "Red Dragon" movie with Anthony Hopkins featured "Cannibal" Lecter whose criminal genius helped to track down "The Tooth Fairy", a mysterious serial killer who took the eyes of his victims and replaced them for pieces of glass. The kind of movie which would be inspiring for Luis Dourado's work.
A viver em Barcelona e nascido no Porto, Luis Dourado cria fantásticas e misteriosas composições com muitas influências da ficção científica. O ilustrador e artista plástico trabalha principalmente com fotomontagem para produzir peças que transformam a realidade em algo que existe na sua mente. Através da manipulação de imagens até ao ponto em que elas tomam uma quase alucinatória nova forma nova, vivas e abstractas colagens digitais com um impacto desorientador. Caras famosas são obscurecidas, desmontadas e reconstruídas em desenhos geométricos, fotos a preto e branco de tempos esquecidos assumem uma nova vida com uma injecção de manipulação digital. Quase pesadelos, algumas das suas peças onde os olhos foram suprimidos como que para revelarem um novo carácter de alguém,
remeteu-me para o filme "Dragão Vermelho" com Anthony Hopkins que representa Cannibal Lecter cujo génio criminal ajuda a apanhar um misterioso serial killer que se dá pelo nome de "A Fada dos Dentes" e que substituia os olhos das suas vitimas por bocados de vidro. O tipo de filme que seria inspirador para o trabalho de Luis Dourado.
