Dead Weight, 2014, shoe, elastic and Coke can, 21 x 18 x 18 cm, Courtesy Filomena Soares Gallery

Igor Jesus’ formation in sculpture led him to create questions related to space, objects and also about the dimension of language by the word or the text. The artist makes use of objects, that come from exchanges with other people, in order to work their recontextualization. More than the materials is the context that interests him and through them he has come to discuss issues involved in culturalization processes.
