Description

Tese de mestrado, Pintura, Universidade de Lisboa, Faculdade de Belas Artes, 2013 What is painting? Based on evidence and perplexity that is presented to the painter, this research aims to reflect on the essence of Painting around the subject of Light and Shadow. In a game to see, to reveal and to hide or mask, Painting becomes the place of imperceptible and therein lies its power of fascination. We tried to reflect on what is the relation of this play - revelation and concealment - with the concept of the Sublime, which is not approached by an historical or historicist context, but as an intrinsic reality to the human condition and therefore the reality of the artist. The first part of the dissertation is based on the texts La Peinture, Masque et Miroir, La Montre e Le Lisible et le Visible1 by Jean-Marie Pontévia; the second part invokes Mark Rohtko’s work, studying the Color and the Light as an essential approach to the concept of Sublime. The theoretical research is accompanied by a series of twenty one paintings on paper entitled Entre o Sangue e o Fogo (Between Blood and Fire)
