Stencil and found image with felt pen

Padilha’s Untitled, a work in which he juxtaposes a perforated piece of fabric, a sleeping bag found on the streets of London and stencils made on the gallery wall, is an assemblage that seems to project the interior of the gallery into the outside space of the city. The stencil on the wall forms a pattern that resembles Portuguese tiles on building façades, elements of ornament in the urban fabric.
It is partly covered by the sixties style printed sleeping bag, an object designed for a private activity to take place in public spaces. The top layer consists of a perforated patterned curtain, a quintessentially domestic element. From a formal point of view, the superimposed patterns in the piece have a strong decorative character, at the same time working as indexes of specific environments and suggesting a transition from private to public.
