The Isle of St. Maries
The project is an altar-sculpture which presents a set of wooden angels
from the 15th -16th century (loan from the Pius XII Museum in Braga).
The exbibition was on display until mid July at the Sao Bento Metro
Station in Porto designed by Alvaro Siza.
The exhibition was commissioned by Paulo Teixeira de Carvalho, General
Manager of the Hotel Infante de Sagres for the Pope Benedict XVI visit
to the city of Porto.
The sculpture is inspired by the painting: 'Island of the dead' by
Arnold Bocklin as an attempt to stretch the dead and hermetic nature of
the exhibits. The angels are presented at different levels, each one in
its own cave of isolation. Colour, texture and scale are juxtaposed and
creat a surreal environment in the centre of the central station of the
city.
The sculpture was constructed in black glossy resin by the sculptor Paulo Moura.
