Macau-based artist Rui Rasquinho will present his latest exhibition Scape at Signum Living Store, beginning this month. Scape presents 14 new works from the artist; a series of drawings from an on-going project that illustrates a pictorial investigation around the theme of landscapes, both physical and metaphysical. With the series, the artist has extracted elements from traditional Chinese paintings as a primordial reference, with the aim of incorporating these into his practice and private artistic universe. Rasquinho is a well-known illustrator who regularly contributes to local and international publications. He has been collaborating with Macau CLOSER since its very first issue in 2007.
Rui studied Fine Arts – Painting and Animation Cinema and since the 1990’s has been publishing illustrations and comics, and exhibiting paintings, drawings and video installation works. His creations are often displayed in solo and group art shows. The opening ceremony and cocktail reception will be held at 7pm on October 14, at Signum Living Store.
