(English) Water, and the house is the world

Although Carlos Nogueira’s work is absolutely material – made of wood, iron, enamel, aluminium, glass, zinc, clay, acrylic, canvas, plaster, paper, charcoal, silicone, paraffin –, to truly observe it implies not only retinal vision, but also intellective vision, which goes beyond the strict physical reality of what we have before us. In this short essay, intended as a contribution to the reflection on this artist’s work (about which everything seems to have already been mentioned, when in fact almost everything remains to be said), I propose looking into the work presented in this exhibition – water. and the house is the world – from the perspective of its past and its future. It is not by chance that, among the materials listed on the description card of one of the pieces on display, one reads, among others like “wood” and “enamel”, the word “time”.
