Mais mesas...

A primeira, obviamente, foi feita pela Isa. Ela está se mostrando uma apaixonada por pés. :)

As outras duas foi um pouco mas eu. Entretanto, as mesas são, na medida do possível, feitas em conjuntos e com uma grande troca de idéias.

A porta de Isa

Artista: Isabel

Esse é o primeiro quadro que posto no blog que não é de minha autoria.

Espero postar muitos outros ainda de Isa.

Estamos fazendo uma dupla indispensável para a criação. Opiniões e incentivos fundamentais.

Esse sábado, pela manha, fomos para a Fera das Antiguidades, em PoA, mostrar nossas pinutras. Mesas, cadeiras e um esplho de mosaico, também dela. Proximos sabados levaremos também alguns quadros..quem sabe esse aih tb.

Material reciclado é fundamental na nossa criaçao. Além de economizarmos dinheiro em compras de quadro, RECICLAMOS. Reciclamos madeira, como essa porta, achada na rua. Madeira é um material que deve ser reciclado de modo alternativo, pois não é possivel ser reciclado de modo convencional. AInda está outra porta, totalmente em branco, só esperando por suas cores, que a pertencem.. Isa: vamos lah... quero ver a outra tao linda como essa!!

Self-Portrait Fauvist

The Fauvists would be pissed off with me, saying that this shit is a Fauvist paiting. However, they would be happy too, coz I'm painting. And I am paiting.

Last week I have just started my studies on the portraits. Retratos. It's quite difficult to draw the human face, the very little details make big differences..

On this first self-portrait, I didnt mean to be precise. I think I got tired of my studies. I had made before two or three drawings of my face, looking at a quite big and old mirror. However, at the time I decided to draw and paint on the board, I have just almost given up my previous studies, and decided to paint more freely. I drank. I couple of shots of cachaça helped me a little bit. It was fast. It didnt take more than an hour. It was after a sex. Not that good one, but enough to be the turning point. That moment. The decision moment. "Now, I'm gonna make it". And then, there is nothing that can stop you. The only thing that can stop you, is to see the board finished. The colours, all brigthing and shinning just in fron of you. Now you wait, for the paint to dry. It is acrylic. It is fast. Who is gonna buy it? I hope no one!!!!!!

p.s. Realitè Poetique. I may be changing the moviment.

p.s.2. The next one, is a big project. It doesnt mean very good. It just means..long time working on it...

The Cranberries Fauvista Expressionista Cubista!

I really wanted to give this painting another name, but that would be a heresy. This board has been hanged on the wall for quite many years. It used to be a poster of the rock band The Cranberries. I guess a friend of mine gave it to my brother, who used to like the band. I do like the band too, but I was tired of that poster.
I passed on it a kind of paste (kind of a plaster). We wait for one or two days, and then it gets hard. It is used to refurbish furniture, something that me and Isa have making lately – as you can see on the others texts and pics -. Afterwards one is supposed to sand, with a sandpaper. We usually do that with the furniture. However, I haven’t sand the boar, therefore the relief of it and the texture is quite tick; like that, it became more difficult to be precise during the painting.
I was just starting to paint when I realized I still could see the drawing under it. The four members of the rock band sat on the sofa. I copied it. During the copy, I realized I couldn’t see some parts, so I googled it and found the photograph again on the internet, the cover of the cd. I haven’t copied too precise, coz the aim was not that. I wanted it to be a little unrecognizable. I got it. One hardly can see what it is…some people sat..a friend told me there is a man, a child sat on the floor, and another man. Whatever…I aimed it to be very abstract..that was the original aim. When I first thought about the painting, I thought it being completely abstract, like the table SO it became much more than an abstract painting. I don’t wanna be an abstract painter. Shall I be a Fauve Abstract Expressionister…yes, we are all very complicated people!!

Mesa Fauvista 2 - Expressionismo Abstrato

Está interessante continuar mesclando as duas técnicas. O inicio do modernismo, clássico modernismo, os Fauves, mestres das cores, amigos dos Impressionistas, certamente não deixariam de se espantarem com a ousadia de Jackson Pollock. Mestre do Expressionismo Abstrato.
Jackson praticava avidamente o Expressionismo. Aquela arte que nada é mais importante que o sentimento. È uma figura, razoavelmente identificável, mas o que é explicitamente identificável é o sentimento de tal figura. Foi quando ele deixou, sem querer, cair algumas gotas de tintas na tela colocada no chão. Percebeu que essas gotas eram algo mais, eram formas, cores, expressão, abstração...Expressar o que se sente através de cores e formas. Através de linhas. Kandinski foi um dos primeiros a pensar sobre o assunto e colocá-lo em prática. Sua abstração era mais do que arte, era uma ciência. Tinha convicção de que suas formas e cores expressavam sentimentos.
Uma tinta atirada na tela com força e determinação, expressa raiva. Uma tinta atirada na tela com cuidado e com pequenos e rápidos movimentos de mão transmite mais harmonia. ACTION! Action painting! O movimento deve ser sempre rápido, para que transmita certidão. A certeza de que o que o artista está fazendo está certo!
Erro, erro, erro, errar, errado, errando...o que mais se pode fazer no action paiting é errar. Erra-se, erra-se, erra-se...e tem-se a convicção de que está certo.
p.s. o que mais se pode fazer na arte, é errar. Errem, e sejam felizes. Errem, e considerem esse erro o maior dos acertos. Errem, e não peçam a opinião de ninguém. A Arte é sua. O erro é seu. Errem ou acertem...tanto faz...
Domingo vespertino de ressaca. A ressaca atrai trabalha. A ressaca inspira. A ressaca concentra. A ressaca faz esquecer mundo e concentrar-se em si mesmo.
Essa é a mesa da ressaca.
Alguns dizem que é mesa de creche.
È mesa de creche. E de museu!

Art Deco - Mesa Fauvista

A Mesa Fauvista realmente satisfez muito minha vontade de criação e produção artística. Pintar uma mesa toda branca, encarar aquela brancura na tua frente, e criar, apenas criar; isso é pintar.
A textura da Mesa influenciou de modo positivo a decisão de pintá-la circularmente. Desde o momento em que Isa tinha passado aquela massa, e eu com um pente fiz os movimentos, aquilo foi um pouco de escultura. Fazer relevo, criar textura. Duas inovações importantes no modo como, digamos, a ‘tela’ foi pintada: Primeiro criar a superfície a qual seria pintada. Criar texturas, relevos e movimentos, influenciou o modo como ela foi pintada; ajudou positivamente aquela decisão do que e como pintar. O momento da decisão, que acontece seguidamente, um atrás do outro, repetidamente, durante todo o processo criativo. A certeza de qual cor usar, de qual forma desenhar. A certeza de estar criando. Os momentos...os vários e indispensáveis momentos de certitud.
Segundo mas não menos importante que a primeira ‘inovação’, foi que para mim por primeira vez pintei sem fazer o desenho. Tinha feito isso apenas com lápis, e lápis de cera, obtendo alguns resultados interessantes, mas não surpreendentes nem sensacionais – como podem ser observados alguns nesse livro -; tampouco obtive ou produzi algo surpreendente ou sensacional dessa vez, apenas algo agradável, o qual eu ainda não esteja tão seguro sobre. O tempo dirá. E o tempo tudo cura. Tudo melhora. Nada piora. Tudo muda. Tudo faz ficar mais lindo e mais feliz.

Art Deco - Armário Fauvista

Provavelmente a ‘minha’ primeira arte decorativa.
‘Minha’ porque quem realmente faz e o fez, com minha ajuda, foi Isabel.
Cores Puras. Seria então Fauvista ou Naïf? As duas correntes artísticas se mesclam quando se trata das cores usadas. Provavelmente não dos motifs.
Grande parte da inspiração - embora Isa tenha estado fazendo já há algum tempo artes bastante parecidas - veio do armário que pude observar e tirar a foto que ai se apresenta, no Museé d’Art Naïf de Nice. Um museu o qual realmente representou bastante para mim sobre o que criar e como pintar.
Pela primeira vez depois de conhecer o Fauvismo, o qual ainda é o que mais me inspira, encontrei cores tão fortes e representativas. Cores infantis, como talvez todos nós gostaríamos de ser, sempre.
Disse durante o processo que pintar tal armário estava satisfazendo a minha vontade de criar e pintar. Entretanto, não. Arte decorativa me parece agradável, interessante, criativa e no mesmo nível de qualquer outra criação artística; porém meu encantamento pelos quadros é quase insubstituível.

Paris 1

Small board. 18x24cm

First I thought I could draw some beautiful doors I ahve taken pictures, in such small formats..but then I copied a landscape...also from a photo, from the same places I have taken the doors...

I don't think it's too good, but it matches with the 'vue from ota's window'

the colours...the few shadows...i have to work bether with the shadows...and more naturally...

outside paintings...or sth to give more life to it.

Self Portrait 1 - Gouache on wood - Dez / 2008

Self portrait is the last drawer.
The ex shoes drawer that became a cupboard (by me breaking it and by Fer realinzing the idea and painting the new cupboard), and three of the drawers have left.
The first one was the first contemporary painting... the one I glued objects on the board. The second one was the first Pollock’s experience. And the third one was the self portrait, me juggling, with a sea over my head. It came from a photo of mine (when used to be a hippie travelling in the north of Argentina – in San Juan at the time of the photo), and the sea on the background is from a photo of a friend of mine with her boyfriend on the beach, with this beautiful landscape behind…I suppose it does not look like a landscape…but that does not matter too much…first because it is whatever u want it to be, and second because I’m telling you it is a landscape.
I’m tired of that contemporary art thought that it is what u see. No, it is a landscape, and if u do not see it as one, read my text and find it out…instead of trying to find it out by yourself.
Fast drawing.
Fast painting.
The drawing was made some months ago, 2 or three…I cannot remember. But I do remember it was made really fast.
The first thing I did before starting to paint was to redraw the face. It got better…It was too small when I first made it…kind of funny…It is not my intention to make caricatures.
About the colours: it was the first time I used the Fauvist colours thinking naturally about contrasting them…and not looking at the basic and elementar coulours circle, wondering which one contrasts better with another.
It came naturally…thinking like…this blue is too dark to contrast with this green…or the yellow is too light to contrast with the orange, or even with the red.
The purple keeps meaning nature! And the green keeps meaning sky! I do not wanna to stuck on the green sky…although the one I’m making now, I’ve decided already I will keep the sky green…But I do wanna make the sky colourful…like Derain!
I have to remember the first painting. Vue de la maison a Rainha do Mar. It was made without a draught, and leaving blank spaces.
Believe in the blank space. Do not care about what people think. (They usually think blank spaces mean not-knowing how to paint) (But they do not know, that knowing how to paint does not exist!).
Better signature. More personal. More personality.

Portrait like the Fauvist used to do. I love the colourful faces...Matisse paing Derain, Derain painting Vlaminck, Vlaminck painting Matisse!

Expressionism Abstract Bleu 2 - Latex sur Toile - 80 x 50 cm - dez / 2008

Abstract Expressionism
Abstraction Gestual
Action Painting

Many names for the Pollock’s invention.
It must be written in English. It is the only recognized american artistic movement.
I changed some emails with a guy from the US, an expert in Pollock. He, after asking me if I were a real artist, said to me he used to paint with Latex paint or Enamon…what hell is Enamon?
The first experience was a disaster, gouache on wood….it works but not for action painting…the painting is all cracking…well…nevermind…nobody is going to buy it anyway.
But now I got the right paint. Latex seems to be perfect to that. Mixed with some little water makes the painting quite fluid in order to do the right movements.
Blue was the chosen colour. The original idea is to paint six of these, with the six basic colours, then paint the last one with the six colours.
By the way, the first expressionism abstract – the on with gouache – is with the six colour.
This one got good, and maybe it will b sold. Cross my fingers….heheh..looking forward to selling the first painting.
There is balance, there is not too much painting as the first one. The paint dried really fast and seems to stay for long. Will cross my finger…hehe
The board has a good size, but it was a bit expensive…36 reais just the board, and 15 the can of painting, which is good, coz it came 900ml of it, which means that I can paint about ten of this..hehe…and sell them all and got rich forever!!!!!!
What else?
I can say that the process of making it is very pleasant…one has to concentrate in order to give the right balance…it is not just about throwing the paint on the board…it’s about felling the balance and discover how the different movements with the sticks produce different lines…
I hope I can make more of these soon…money will tell.
One painting per day is the aim.
I’m achieving it so far.

p.s. after 20 days studying Geography and not painting or drawing a single line…finally I’m done with shittie Geo and back to the art!!!
p.s.2. The black one is Pollock. Isn't it obvious?

Vue de la Fenetre de Ota – Redenção. – Oil sur toile 50x60 – oct 2008

I wish I was painting in Nice, or Mônaco, or any other fancy place like that but no, I am painting the view I most know, the view from my window.
Three nights to finally pass the drawing to the board, five nights to paint it. Too much. Too long. Not for a beginner. The result is not good but I love it. And I don’t like it. A painter must never be satisfied. So that’s how we continue.
The colours are the pure ones, like the Fauvist, but the black. The black is not a colour so should not be there. The white, in the end the most used one – it was the only tube that I finished and had to buy another -, which is not a colour either, is there. My uncle said to me, after me saying that I’m not using the black in my paintings – the tube was not even opened -, that I should not use the white one either. I agreed, but not completely though; there is just some little white spots on the board, right in the centre, with the little flowers. Funny that, it is actually the only colour transcript like it is shown in the real; all the others are changed. The green beautiful trees are actually violet, the deep brown tree-trunks are actually orange and red, and the dark is sky is green. How beautiful is the green deep sky. The brown was very little used, and I really didn’t like the result; it is actually a mistake, the
It is incredible the challenge that I passed through, depict the night with the Fauvist colours; happy bright colours to depict the deepness of the Porto Alegre night, with its dangerous park and burned light spots
The only ‘mistake’ I committed related to colours, is the dark green chosen to be the street; it should have been light green. I also did not like the dark blue to be part of the top of the balcony; it is a too dark colour to a too near place to the viewers. The brown was very little used, and I really didn’t like the result; it is actually another mistake, the first light pole, it is too dark and there is no contrast, but that’s consequence of the first and real mistake, the dark green street.
In the end, I found the plant on the balcony was like the queen of the painting, all the views end up in it. All along the balcony leads to the plant. Well, it’s special anyway. Funny that, it was the last element thought of. It was the last drawing that I made, and it is just part of the final drawing on the board, on all the other three draughts it is not there. The three first buildings on the right side of the viewers are very bad painted; I suppose I was too drunk that night. The orange big building on the left side is also bad, but that’s lack of experience, it was the first thing painted on the board; then the painting grew from there, ending with the sky; as it should be. Humm, what about starting with the sky next time? I will leave that as a challenge.
Signature is always a problem, that’s lack of experience, hehe. But it’s good that it looks like from a child, coz in the end, that’s what we Fauvist are, children painting. Adults painting like children.

p.s. the French name is just to show off.

1 Art Movement per Month - November - The Fauvists

Ola! Aqui quem fala é o prof. Esperamos fazer desses encontros um meio para discutir alguns movimentos artísticos, sem pretensões de tornarmos grandes especialistas, apenas grandes apreciadores, e trabalharmos a língua Inglesa de um modo divertido. Que venham todos que tenham interesse, mesmo aqueles que acreditam nao ter um Inglês suficiente para uma aula tradicional de conversação. Todos serão abraçados, bem recebidos e aproveitarão bastante os encontros, os quais serão realizado em um espaço com uma energia....diferente.

Expressionism Abstract Fauvist

If mixing the vanguards means doing a vanguard, if a new vanguard is impossible to be created, just reinvented; so I mix them.
The Fauvists did not know Pollock, so they could not do the Fauvist painting that I do. My motif is different from theirs, but my colours are their ‘copy’.
Nothing is invented, everything is copied.
I nowadays copy what the Fauvists could not copy.
I’m a reinvented Fauvist;
with no technique. I have no technique. I’m a painter without knowing how to paint.
I’m a painter who doesn’t know how to paint.I have no technique; and I am a reinvented Fauvist.

¿Vanguardia?

Reinventing the Vanguards means mixing the Vanguards !

Abstrato Fauvistas - Lápis de Cor sur papier

4 Fauvist Abstractions - Words

Experiência Infinita - Fiquei de escrever um poema com esse título. Era como se o poema já estivesse pronto na minha cabeça (essas duas palavras são tão inspiradoras para mim), entretanto, nunca foi escrito. Ao invés, sai uma pintura. Fase de rabiscar cores no papel, tentando usar as 48 diferentes cores do jogo de lápis de cores.

Van Gogh - Com algumas molduras que um menino de rua me vendeu (4 x 10 reais), comprei uma cartolina e recortei no tamanho direitinho da moldura, e aí saiu o Van Gogh!

Daime Cores - Durante a genial experiência de tomar a Aiuasca, nada mais pedi que 'Daime Cores'. Engraçado esse jogo de palavras que constantemente repeti durante todo ritual. Daime, do própio Santo Daime, servindo como um verbo imperativo, e pedindo nada mais do que CORES!!

Complexidade - Trabalho final de monografia, escritos sobre museologia e visitação a museus; partindo da Teoria da Complexidade desenvolvida por Edgard Morin, criei o termo complexidade museológica, que tenta entender os museus como instituições muito mais complexas e abrangentes que apenas as suas salas de exposições.

Usina do Gazômetro - Black Pencil, Colour Pencils and Aquerelle

Usina do Gazômetro com z? Por que? não sei.

Usine du gasometro c'est un centre culturel a Porto Alegre. J'ai fait le desin 3 ou 4 mois avant. Il y a trois jours j'ai le peint.

Usina do Gazômetro Fauvist...

And the next one is a big project...

unless a new idea come before...

but the big project is in my mind...

wait till saturday that I'm gonna ask some clues to my aunt, ex painter, as well as asking her to get some oils to me. I've got the frame, I need the board now...And then..The big FAUV project is on the way...
