Artist living and working in Portugal Andre Chiote (André Chiote) in a new series of prints successfully combines two of his professional interests - architecture and design. Designed in a minimalist style, the design works explain to the audience the very essence of the graceful buildings that are part of the treasury of world architecture.
Masterpieces of modernist architecture have inspired countless artists - including, for example, the experimental sculptor Alejandre Arrechea and Chiote's design colleagues, British Yoni Altera … Chiote's catchy, but laconic works demonstrate that the artist does not set himself the goal of growing from reflection on the architectural some kind of independent essence - he just carefully conveys the essence of the buildings he admires, no more and no less.
In his works, Andre Chiote, not without brilliance, manages to capture the very essence, the "essence" of each building. He refuses to depict details that others would consider essential, but at the same time manages to grasp the essence of the form and, having simplified it, nevertheless preserves the key semantic content. Chiote relies on distinctive shapes, contrasting colors and striking lines from which he collects his dedications to outstanding architects - like a child playing with scraps of colored paper, but of course on a completely different level.

One object movie: a series of minimalist posters for famous movies
