REDOINGA white trapezium stands out against a background. Is it a rectangle? One can’t make it out clearly, because the deviation in relation to the parallel of the edges of the rectangle, if it is one, is too subtle to make the geometry of the forms clear. Hugo Canoilas’s painting starts from a founding moment in 20th century painting: it starts from Malevich and Suprematism, from the Russian adventure of the first three decades of the 20th century, from Rodschenko’s first monochrome paintings, from the relationship between the two-dimensional space of the image and the three-dimensional aspect of Lazar Lissitzky’s real space. It starts at the beginning of the radical nature of an approach to painting that would announce its own death, which was repeated so often throughout the last century, in order to come back and ask the same question again through the viability of painting. Redoing everything over again, redoing everything in the space of the painting, or, as he tried on other occasions, amplifying the experience into the space of the dwelling, covering everything with painting, or making a giant palimpsest, a diary of his multiple experiences with the image (invoking Kurt Schwitters, almost calling up his ghost). Redoing is a practice of painting, perhaps one of its most profitable processes: Ingres redoes David, Manet redoes Velázquez, who had redone Titian, Matisse redoes Cézanne, Picasso redoes Velázquez – all in a spiral of the recurrence of the same through other ways, through other processes, with other aims and for other times. Redoing implies acute awareness of the time and the hiatus between what one does and what was once done. It is this adequation to the time of the painting, to its recursive and cyclical time, that is present in Hugo Canoilas’s work, because doing again always means doing anew, in order to test whether the painting is possible. The starting point for this question is the most difficult thing, because it is that of its death foretold. For that very reason the experience of testing the dryness of the monochrome, the harshness of the geometric shape that loses its balance in the pictorial plane is much more than a simple repetition. It is an essay.Delfim Sardo

Hugo Canoilas: Exploring Boundaries Between Perception and Materiality

Hugo Canoilas, born in Lisbon, Portugal, in 1977, is a contemporary artist whose practice delves into the intersection of painting, sculpture, and installation. His work consistently investigates how materials interact with conceptual ideas, resulting in immersive experiences that challenge viewers’ understanding of space and form. Canoilas's artistic journey began with formal studies at ESAD Caldas da Rainha, Portugal, followed by a Master’s degree from Royal College of Art, London, UK, establishing him as a graduate artist with international exposure.

Early Influences and Artistic Development

Canoilas's artistic vision is deeply rooted in explorations of natural elements—particularly volcanic landscapes—which serve as recurring motifs throughout his oeuvre. This fascination stems from an interest in geological processes and their impact on visual perception, mirroring a broader preoccupation with materiality and its capacity to convey complex narratives. His training at Royal College of Art honed his technical skills while fostering a critical engagement with artistic traditions, notably those championed by Hugo van der Goes, whose masterful realism and psychological depth profoundly influenced Canoilas’s approach to figurative painting.

Notable Exhibitions and Recognition

Canoilas's work has garnered significant acclaim within the international art scene. He debuted solo exhibitions at Galerie Andreas Hueber (Vienna), Workplace Gallery (London), Sonae Art Cycles (MNAC - Chiado Museum, Lisbon), Galeria Quadrado Azul (Porto), Frankfurter Kunstverein and Autocenter Berlin, showcasing his versatility across mediums and cementing his reputation as a compelling visual storyteller. His installations have been presented at venues like Wiener Art Foundation and Vienna Fair, attracting critical attention and establishing him as a prominent voice in contemporary art discourse. Furthermore, Canoilas’s collaborative project “Someone A Long Time Ago Now” with Cooper Gallery (Dundee) earned recognition for its exploration of artistic dialogue and conceptual innovation.

Technique and Conceptual Approach

Canoilas distinguishes himself through a meticulous attention to detail and an inventive use of materials—often incorporating volcanic ash, stone fragments, and other natural components into his sculptural works and installations. These elements aren’t merely decorative; they are integral to conveying thematic concerns related to transformation, resilience, and the relationship between humanity and the environment. His paintings utilize layered textures and subtle color palettes to create atmospheric compositions that invite contemplation and provoke emotional responses. Canoilas's artistic process prioritizes conceptual rigor alongside technical proficiency, resulting in artworks that transcend conventional boundaries of representation.

Historical Significance and Legacy

Hugo Canoilas’s work contributes to a broader conversation about how art can engage with scientific observation and philosophical inquiry. Like Hugo van der Goes before him, he champions artistic innovation while honoring the traditions of figurative painting—a testament to the enduring power of visual storytelling. His explorations of materiality and geological landscapes resonate with contemporary concerns regarding environmental sustainability and human vulnerability, positioning Canoilas as an artist who anticipates future dialogues within the realm of art and culture.
