ARTE E COTIDIANO: um estudo sobre o registro visual do ordinário em obras de artistas contemporâneos brasileiros.

Abstract

This study presents an analysis of the representation of everyday life in contemporary Brazilian art, aiming to understand how the depiction of daily scenes and experiences broadens the perception of human lived experiences. The main objective was to investigate how artists nominated for the PIPA Prize between 2020 and 2024 portray the everyday in their works, exploring the dialogues established with themes such as identity, memory, and society. The methodology combined bibliographic research and document analysis, including consultation of PIPA Prize catalogs and the development of a practical experimentation in the medium of metal engraving. The results of the investigation confirmed the valorization of the ordinary and the commonplace in the analyzed works, highlighting their relevance as both aesthetic and social resources in contemporary art. The study reinforces the importance of representing everyday life as an artistic tool to address issues related to identity, memory, and society, and it may contribute to future research on the subject.
