Pharmacon : cor e figura
| Resumo: | My work starts with the use of pharmaceutical products/substances with therapeutic purposes, for the production of colour in painting. Drugs exist for many different therapeutics that act on the body (physical), for example on the skin, or on the spirit, either manifesting visible consequences, or only allowing access to descriptions about changes caused or likely to be demonstrated in another plan, in terms of imagination. I paint the space between reality and fiction, the colour of the visible and the imagined one (non-visible colour). In one case, I use dyes produced in pharmacy, such as the tincture of iodine, in other cases I get figures of comics and animated films whose stories are associated with the use or consumption of substances whose consequences are decisive in their behaviour and even in their chromatic appearance. I freeze the moment and paint the transformative effect of colour on the cartoons. The cartoons/icons of comic books, which are always pictured as strong, healthy characters, become fragile and gain mortality by the use, in my work, of unstable, volatile chemical products as raw material. I am interested on the ephemeral and the poetic in painting |
