Works by Azeite de Leos
The relationships between drawing and writing are the basis of his artistic research, as well as the plastic production is focused on printing processes (monotype), collage, décollage and image construction. The works investigate the use of the symbology of walls and their manifestations inherent to the urban environment (indices of the passage of time: “sedimentary memory”, wear, fragility, soot, lacerations, oxidations and accumulation of residues). The wall becomes a support and material in the elaboration of the compositions.
