About the Artist:
His “pictorial space” develops: in vanguards and utopias, redefining art’s formalism and abstracting concepts in the protest years 60/70, in the post-modernism and in new ways of contemporarily.
Critic:
Nicolau Campos, Concept, Firmness and Seriousness
The emptiness and fullness, the forthcoming and the distant, all is necessary instead of the superfluous, all the realness instead of the illusive, the inexistent, misleading and apparent, seeing that the only reality that happens of the being is non collective, but it’s own and individual, the one that separates our senses and is affected by the feelings of the moment.
All one multiplicity of answers before one same stimulus, which is hopelessly logic, is truly indisputable due to the individualism that it has, the one that rises as a differentiator element from a group of circumstances which may look similar to a whole group of people.
This is what comes represented in the work of Nicolau Campos.
We can see a proper esthetical progress, a separation of moments that happened in a particular way, an expressive exclusivity taken from a common context and it reflects in a good level, the necessities or deep desires of the author.
His work shows firmness, vigorous in its concept, without that signifying that it is “prey”, but yes well multi-communicative, giving a clear answer through trustworthy assimilation, the rigor of a very symbolic work that more than stresses all made to detail, which is an innate sensitivity, a peculiar vision that doesn’t disfigure or profane the important aspect of the work, the idea, the rhythm, the search for a transmission of meanings in a context where the bottom is merely filling, mere existing emptiness that accompanies, giving more emphasis to the initial idea, the one that shows with evidence in each piece of work, being it painting or sculpture.
Should be highlighted the seriousness that it has, one by one, each piece from his collection, without worrying about the style or technical side, without jeopardizing the latency of life that originates around it, each character shows the element establishing itself, cold, almost insensitive to what happens, such as wanting to mark the indestructible and the proximity to the ever-lasting.
It will not be an exaggeration to comment that Nicolau Campos looks for immortality in the figure, and that through it, the immortality of the being, therefore the sordid utilization of what is represented, the simplicity of space and it’s wholeness and his walk to where the substantial answer has a clear vision and remark ability of his particular universe.
