Nino Cais

Sem título, (Série cabeça de pássaros)

A grid of nine collaged magazine pages forms a fragmented yet cohesive meditation on avian anatomy, where Nino Cais layers torn and cut paper to conjure the sleek, abstracted heads of birds. The found imagery of the magazine substrate bleeds through and around the collaged forms, creating a dialogue between the mass-produced and the handmade. Repeated across the series, the motif takes on an almost taxonomic quality, as if documenting imaginary specimens through an artist's intuitive, poetic lens.
