A parede como suporte: uma investigação sobre o grafitti e pigmentos naturais

Abstract

This Final Course Work presents the development of a poetic investigation contemplating the production and use of natural paints associated with synthetic paints, for the creation of two mural paintings. Considering contributions on mural painting in dialogue with what is produced in Brazil under the name of graffiti, the work was constructed against the backdrop of five concepts: environment; public art, artivism, ancestry and formativity. In the research process that supported the creation of the works, the works of five artists from Brazil and a Chilean collective were consulted, whose poetics are constituted from the concepts studied. In the research process for the production of the paints, the selection of collection sites was carried out; soil, ash and charcoal were collected and the pigments and binder were produced. The creation of the two works involved the use of this produced paint interspersed with synthetic paints and their results, although distant in visuality, dialogue with each other through materiality and ordering through the use of concepts. The final work achieved its purpose and is configured as the beginning of an aesthetic choice for the development of artistic poetics that respect the environment in their materializations.
