A gravura e a impressão sob olhares inusitados: a sensibilidade do imperceptível e as ações das intempéries nos processos gráficos contemporâneos

Abstract

This paper presents the initial results of the survey in visual poetics, the Master of Visual Arts of the Federal University of Pelotas, UFPel. The text presents my creative process focused on printing and contemporary engraving. I make use of track contact balizadoras concepts as sources for the development of the process. Also analyze the relationship between the practical procedures that use organic materials and action elements (such as the serene and rain) to carry out the images. Question which can be extended from the procedures used in the investigation of printmaking in contemporary art. I long to extend the thinking and procedures with respect to techniques of traditional engraving, crossing them, changing them and comparing them with print modes of the current context, absorbing knowledge enabled from the images obtained. As artistic references are addressed the works of Brigida Baltar and Carlos Vergara. As theoretical frameworks are used concepts of Georges Didi-Huberman, Carolina Rochefort, and Marco Buti. New modes of printing are proposed, taking advantage of organic materials that are shown to work, recording the transfer in time, causing situations that question doing and thinking the picture. Prints mark the everyday and become effective on organic matter by time becoming visible evidence of submerged experiences in the still unknown universe.
