Diogo Pimentão (Lisbon, 1973) lives and works in London. He studied at Ar.Co. in Lisbon, the Sculpture Seminar in Gotland, and the International Sculpture Center in Pêro Pinheiro, Sintra. The practice of drawing, especially using graphite, is the central axis of his work. He conceives it as a form of contact between a material and a support through a repetitive gesture, sometimes blind or procedural, but he also frequently employs cement, often in tension with paper. His research combines randomness with a rigorous technique, through traces and marks, lines, or strokes. The sheet can be folded, raised in space, or placed on the floor.

He has had solo exhibitions at institutions such as the Irish Museum of Modern Art (Dublin), Museu de Arte Contemporânea – Colecção António Cachola, Galeria Yvon Lambert, Kentkler International Drawing Space (Brooklyn), and FRAC Rouen Normandie. Among his group exhibitions are the Centre National d’Art et de Culture Georges Pompidou (Paris), Museu Calouste Gulbenkian (Lisbon), Fundação Serralves (Porto), Centre d’Art La Panacée (Montpellier), and CAPC (Bordeaux).

His work is present in European art centers and institutions, as well as significant private collections in both Europe and the United States, including the Fonds National d’Art Contemporain (Paris), Centre National d’Art et de Culture Georges Pompidou (Paris), Pomeranz Collection (Vienna), Collection Lambert (Avignon), European Central Bank, Fundação Serralves (Porto), Museu de Arte Contemporânea – Colecção António Cachola, Fundação Leal Rios (Lisbon), Fundação EDP (Lisbon), Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo (Turin), and MONA - Museum of Old and New Art (Australia).
