Carlos Lobo
RAR Collection 2013

The photographs of Carlos Lobo demonstrate careful attention to compositional elements, via extremely purified and silent pictures that reveal details which become structural: a single colour, a human presence, a machine or mundane objects. His peculiar capacity for using forms in order to recreate atmospheres that somehow become abstract, underlines a transit between an almost documental status and an aesthetic exploration, which is handled by the artist with extreme rigour. (Marta Moreira de Almeida)
