“Leite plays with the matter of light, making it alive, uncertain, never quite graspable. In his works, each light source becomes part of an emotional map, where nothing is definitive but everything is gently evoked. Painting, in this key, becomes a contemplative gesture, memory in suspension.” In this painting, a yellowish light source topped by a green shape emerges from the corner of the composition. Though abstract, these two forms are instantly recognizable as London’s Big Ben. Appearing like a fragment of a memory, Leite invites us to travel through shared visual references, reminding us of the common frameworks through which we perceive the world.
