Drawing constitutes Luis Nobre’s priviledged medium both in terms of representation and probing of the world through the overlapping of layers and resulting vibrations that arise from the tensions of the line. In a world that is fragmented, the artist’s use of line as a sociological and historic memento of nature creates ‘cinematographic travellings and geographic narratives’ investigating ideas of nature, survival and the ‘implications of the empty space’ between the originally observed subject and it’s drawn and displayed rendition.
