Diogo Pimentão (Lisbon, 1973) lives and works in London. The practice of drawing, especially using graphite, is the central axis of his work. He conceives it as a form of contact between a material and a support through a repetitive gesture, sometimes blind or procedural, but he also frequently employs cement, often in tension with paper. His research combines randomness with a rigorous technique, through traces and marks, lines, or strokes. The sheet can be folded, raised in space, or placed on the floor. His work is present in many private and public collections in both Europe and the United States, including the Fonds National d’Art Contemporain (Paris), Centre National d’Art et de Culture Georges Pompidou (Paris), Pomeranz Collection (Vienna), Collection Lambert (Avignon), European Central Bank, Fundação Serralves (Porto), Colecção António Cachola, Fundação Leal Rios (Lisbon), Fundação EDP (Lisbon), Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo (Turin), and MONA – Museum of Old and New Art (Australia), etc.
