“By cutting, pasting and freely associating fragments of silkscreen and photographic images of drawings and paintings of his own, sometimes combined with details of works of art by other authors, ancient and modern, Cruzeiro Seixas experiments the multiple meanings that this activity promotes. (...) His surrealist imagery frequently uses drawing and art. collage, which are his ways of intervening in the recreation of the dreamlike and transfigured vision of the world. In the descendant of Jerónimo Bosch, notable fantastic painter of the 19th century. XV, Cruzeiro Seixas creates semi-human, semi-animal characters, as demonic as they are angelic, in scenarios of abyss and vertigo. (...) Drawing, painting, cutting and pasting what you draw and paint is essential. its work process involved in the free act that, from the exploration of chance, provides the broadening and deepening of a language, rooted in the hidden life of the unconscious. (...) In his drawings and collages, like these now on display, the horizon line is the horizon. It is always far away and too low, making us feel like we are looking at everything from a very high point of view. We have the sensation of hovering dizzily over the extensive plain. Between heaven and earth, the movement of bodies and objects grows, at an ascending pace, towards infinity. The day reveals what the night hides. From darkness emerges light. Against dense black backgrounds or in dark translucent blues, sculptural illuminated bodies are outlined, livid from dreaming so much, combined with flying objects and shining stars like moons and multicolored suns, which herald a New World, where Love it is constantly reborn, full of meaning and truth. Truth rhymes with Freedom. Pain rhymes with Love. The Invention of the New Day rhymes with Poetry. “FREEDOM, LOVE AND POETRY” is the trilogy proclaimed, always and forever, by the heralds of Surrealism.” January 2005, EURICO GONÇALVES This exhibition is included in the set of Events Commemorating the 20 Years of Activity of the Portuguese Screen Printing Center.
