Lisbon Gates 1997

Pedro Cabrita Reis's "Lisbon Gates" (1997) is an installation featuring four large, freestanding structures resembling doors or gates. Each structure is composed of a rectangular sheet of colored glass framed in clear glass. The colors of the glass panels, red, white, black, and blue, create a stark and formal visual statement, hinting at the themes of passage, transition, and the nature of space. The minimalist aesthetic and clean lines are characteristic of contemporary art and minimalist sculpture.
