JUNO REVIEW:-

Slightly Transformed bring us the latest instalment in their occasional compilation series, which follows on from 'Summer Numbers 2019' and 'Summer Numbers 2020'. Regular visitors to this page should need no introduction to the respected London-based label, and with the album packing a whopping 26 tracks, there's certainly no space to give you a full blow-by-blow rundown: suffice to say that whether you're a fan of sparkling boogie nouveau, sumptuous string-drenched disco, deep 'n' groovy house, headnoddin' Balearica or any combination thereof, this is a comp you're gonna want to check for. Standouts for yours truly include Kiosko 33's Chuck Roberts-biting 'Theory Of House' and Kristoff MX's 'Funk With Me', but you'll find your own I'm sure...

Introduction | Biography  |  Artist Statement  |  CV Exhibitions 
Established his career as an artist in London where he graduated with a BA in Fine Art. 
Pedro Sousa Louro has had numerous careers, including TV presenting and modelling for almost 17 years but has always lived on drawing cubist images. Now a full-time artist Pedro transfers his soul into his studio. His work is his way of portraying feelings, emotions, and perceptions, -both consciously and unconsciously through detailed geometric compositions balanced with lines and shapes.  Using multiple techniques in each artwork, his concern lies with creating a dialogue with colour and form, rather than over-focusing on the subject matter.  Numerous materials come into play during the artist’s process such as textiles, reclaimed wood objects, old journals, and wallpapers. With canvas or wooden panels for a base, these are combined with rustic deteriorating metals elements, created through a technique he developed by using oxidising copper powders. Combinations of letters and numbers are applied to balance the composition, and finally, each artwork is finished with yacht varnish. 

In Pedro’s work, you can see the evolution in his dialogue with colours and geometry. Despite his preferences about contemporary artists, like for instance, Francis Bacon and Ben Nickolson. His reminiscence comes from the "neoplasticism" of Mondrian, Robert Rauschenberg, and in some way Picasso.  Still, the most crucial influence of Pedro’s creativity is Ben Nickolson, where Cubism has been part of his life. Only in the early part of his career, in his more recent researches and studies he find himself combining both Cubism and abstract expressionism in just one practice as he creates his works. He uses the technique of "dropping", used by Pollock, but with the order and sense of Rothko. 

Pedro is originally from Portugal and moved to the UK over 29 years ago to study his passion for art. He later graduated from Chelsea College of Art and Design in 1997. He further continued the second degree in 2011 on Abstract Vision and Abstract Expressionism at Kensington and Chelsea Art College University. 

Pedro is hugely inspired by his favourites artists Francis Bacon and the British abstract cubist Ben Nickolson but also finds himself drawn to so many other great masters in art. Is from them that he finds himself creating his work. In his artistic abstract expressionism and cubist language attempts, he tries to not stick with just one technique, because he does not stress regarding the subject matter as long he achieves what he wants in the geometrical creativity and almost in an architectural statement. Pedro is only focused on the compact geometric detailed balance of each composition he designs, and also concentrate his attention on the final details. Such as making each colour interacting with each other and finally altogether managing to build an artist creative personal statement in all of his finalised compositions artworks.

A textural tangibility is immediately evident in Pedro Sousa Louro’s work. Earthy and material-focused, an unassuming beauty is found within the play between dark woods and a muddied palette. Furthermore, geometry plays a crucial role here, as clean white lines converse with blocks of muted colour. There is an almost archival, collage-like approach to the application of materials and hues, and it is as if Sousa Louro has assumed the role of archaeologist, unearthing layers of forgotten history. Educated at Chelsea College of Arts, Sousa Louro is one of the most talked-about LGBTQ artists at the moment.

Pedro has collectors around the globe, including Europe, Russia, the Middle East, India, Australia, the US and South America.
