Gil Heitor Cortesão
Portuguese · b. 1967
Painting (Oil on Plexiglass)
DESCRIPTION
Gil Heitor Cortesão is known for his 'reverse painting' technique, applying oil paint to the back of plexiglass sheets to exhibit the unpainted side. His works often feature melancholic, realistic depictions of modernist architecture, deconstructing surfaces to create a sense of estrangement that blurs the line between painting and photography.
