I'm always fascinated by the other meaning of the manmade environment and objects.
In the asphalt one goes south from not north, we need to choose the right direction. We run on the paved surfaces with it's lines and rules in an eternal journey, seeking the vanishing point, seeking our destination."

incrivel, uma surpresa atras da outra, e quando acaba , da vontade de ver de novo .Um trabalho, com linhas, caminhos de luz, traçados fortes, marcas que mostram o o estilo do trabalho do Augusto . a imagem #17 me fascinou pela sua simplicidade e pela forma como a luz flutua no espaço . imagem #15 incrivel composiçao das sombras , enfim todas as imagem tem suas particularidades que me agradaram muito. Parabens, por esses e por todo o seu trabalho .

quinnbike says:

Dear Augusto,

First of all.....Thank you for inviting me to your beautiful art work.
You know that I am an admirer of your very...very..personal abstract work
The best asphalt pictures are in my opinion the ones with the signs...
They always tell a story that can be told in many different ways, but there's always YOUR guidance in mind!
On a motorway you are directed in a fixed direction and signs are the same for everyone....but where you end up at last is personal!

Love your style and eye...

I especially like nr. 6 (a face)and nr. 10 and 16 ( a dream)

regards
Gerie

marineavoile  Pro User  says:

Thank you for the invitation, Augusto. It's great to see these all together. I miss your great titles, though. If this "art gallery" allows it, I would love to see them added here, for they are an important dimension of your work I think.

Beside the connection between titles and pictures, I also enjoy your ashpalt photos where an other element intervenes to confuse our perception and make us see another dimension. Like the reflection of the sky in #10, the tunnel's roof in 13 or, even more radical, the suggestion of a dotted line on the sky in #8.

This will not be news to you, but I love your take on things. Congratulations.

Parabéns!

gracias para invitarme a tu exposición Augusto!
me parece verdaderamente interesante y me gusta tu punto de vista fotografico...
la foto numero 20 me encanta!
así como muchas otras...
segun mi opinión la 8 y la 13 pero "rumpen" un poco el ritmo de la serie... pero esta es solo mi impresión!
nuevamente felicidades para tu trabajo!

pit-pit says:

Augusto,

this series is stunning. I always had a soft spot for your asphalt photos and have spent some time on them. Nos. 1, 15, 20 are particularly appealing to me.
The contrast, the deep black and vibrant yellows are irresistible.
And the composition is well thought and critically effective.

The major thing though is the atmosphere, the mood they radiate. They inevitably lead me to Lynch's "Lost Highway" a quite tense film.

Thanks for the invitation, thanks for the exhibition, thanks for sharing your talent.

Hasta pronto.

Ah, Augusto,

Splendid collection, indeed. You know I am a sucker for asphalt shots as well, so this is just my cup of tea.
You have an outstanding sense of composition and balance, my friend.

Astonishingly curated and very inspiring.

Keep up the good work...and congrats!

Me gusta la serie, me gusta mucho. Me gusta el color del asfalto, que uno siempre espera tirando a rojo, y en caso tiene reflejos azulinos... un universo asfáltico
Pero las que mas me atraen son: 3, 10, 16, 17.
Y si tengo que elegir una, no sabría si quedarme con la 10 o 17...
Felicitaciones!!!!

Estaba fuera de viaje y me he encontrado al volver con la enorme sorpresa de tu exposición online. Tu ya conoces mi admiración por tus fotos y, en especial, por las del tema asfalto. Máxima conceptualización, atmósferas inquietantes, casi cinematográficas y, siempre, con una técnica perfecta. Enhorabuena Augusto y espero seguir disfrutando de tus imágenes durante mucho tiempo!

I want to leave my sincere thank you to the Art Cafe group and it' s administrators for the invite to show some “asphalt”. I specially want to thank Doris (domido) for her great sense of organization and guidance to help me to put together "asphalt" ...and I’m sure lots of great works will follow in the next exhibitions from the other members of the group.
To my friends and contacts, thank you for take some time to walk or drive around here, the road is always open to everyone!
"obrigado"
