Carlos de Lins - Espacio Gallery
I am a Brazilian artist from São Paulo living and working in London. In my current series of canvases, entitled ‘Linescapes’, I explore the relationship between modern city-dwellers and the giant concrete and glass edifices which delimit their horizons.I am particularly intrigued by the contradictory emotions evoked for me by such buildings where a sense of awe at their majestic scale and thrilling geometry often co-exists with feelings of emptiness and desolation.

Reflecting on possible explanations for this conflict, I note that people often see these buildings as, "expensive but not very interesting, tending to dominate and sterilise their environment.” I often think that perhaps the human element is somehow missing.

My work is mainly acrylic on canvas. I use drawing to articulate the idea of space and I use colour to create and set the atmosphere. Colour and form are deployed to provoke an emotional response.

By de-constructing and then re-constructing elements of my subject matter I renegotiate the terms with which we think about these often physical and emotionally impenetrable spaces.
