Resumo(s)
Philip Guston once said that when he leaves his studio, he would like to think he left behind a world of people, not a world of relationships between elements. My question: is why not leave them both? Can it be that a world of people is thought of as a world that is part of a figurative universe, and can it be that a world of relationships between elements is thought as a part of an abstract universe? Can it be that an universe may contain both worlds, and both worlds be part of the same painting? Modernist movements set free the figurative image. Posterior to this, Abstract Expressionism abolished the figured image, and developed an emphasis given to the treatment of matter. Now figurative painting faces a new paradigm - artists who develop this new type of figuration seem as concerned about the reasons they figure, as with the ways they figure. There is no longer a separation between what are the ways of conceiving, and what is conceived - matter and motive. Therefore, this text starts from the abstract painting and goes towards the figurative one, considering the hypothesis that figurative contemporary painters are born carrying the past of abstract art, thus enveloping their work in the concepts and valorizations that those movements sought to bring. It is understood that a movement such as Abstract Expressionism influenced contemporary painting definitely altering the way that painters deal with pictorial matter, some of them building a figuration that is involved in an abstract vocabulary. Following the same principle, the paintings of the author of this project are the object of a reflexion. The paintings are thought as a union between a world of material aspects, and a world of narrative representation - where motives like rural traditions or human relations have as munch importance as the tactile aspect of a painting - and the formation of an image is made by its desconstruction.
