Traços do invisível: xilografia, arte urbana e tridimencionalidades

Abstract

The development of this research in visual arts consists of means and methods in the process of creating woodcuts, through collages and sculptures. These innovations are significantly connected to photography and public art. Using a poetic language that focuses on the process of elaboration for the highlighted works here, exploring various representations of elements of nature and human expressiveness, ranging from the creation of large wooden plates to engravings that fit in the palm of the hand. These plates, in turn, intertwine with other aspects of arts research, especially in printmaking. In this way, the subjects and their expressiveness within the context of the engraved images relate to the urban landscape and the characters of the city of Salvador. Thus, the works in progress aim to characterize and highlight features of both anonymous individuals and characters who reveal their stories through poetic chronicles in prints that become part of the local landscape, as well as three-dimensional objects and elements of nature.
