Puçá.

Abstract

In this Completion Paper of bachelor's degree in Visual Artes at the Federal University of Paraíba, I sought to investigate experiments within the language of painting with unconventional supports and the use of varied materials. I used the fabric of the hammock as a base for the paintings I have been developing since 2018. In this paper, I explained the production process of the works "Lelê" (2018) and "Júlia" (2019) until arriving at the main work "Puçá" (2021), a painting-installation activated by the public. The objective of this work is to create a correlation between the technique and the abstract concept that are part of my painting, like the memory. As theoretical basis, this paper discusses the concepts of sealing, object-painting and soft-painting by the artist Leda Catunda (CATUNDA, 2003); the Oiticica's Penetrables reflected through the artist's writings (OITICICA apud FERREIRA, 2006); the philosophical concepts that generates this paper such as the rhizome (DELEUZE, 1995), collective memory (HALBWACHS, 1968), material and everyday history (HELLER, 1929). As a result, I analyzed my painting production using soft objects, sealings and the technique incorporated into the concept.
