Arlindo Silva
[...] The starting point [for Arlindo Silva’s small paintings] was an idea of reproblematising and re-contextualising the use-value of the artistic objects that are created following a commission. He therefore aimed to produce small visual fragments which, by definition, could serve as a kind of portable memorabilia, something that nowadays we essentially do with pictures of our close friends and family.
