Um gesto que gesta na pesquisa poética de Auriovane D'Ávila

Abstract

This very work has as theme the creative process of the plastic artist Auriovane D‘ Ávila and it is based on an approach of Genetic Editing which seeks for the understanding of the artistic creation process from the records of its course left by the artist. The research question was “How the painting with sand, inserted in the artistic tradition from Cidade De Goiás, develops on the artist Auriovane D‘ Ávila’s poetic?” The relevance of a research in this approach is about the understanding of the creation process as a move into a wider context, by obtaining the records and trace elements of the artist’s creative path. On this perspective, the aims that guided this work were: to analyze the plastic artist Auriovane D‘ Ávila’s creative path; to identify the artistic influences in his work as a whole; to characterize the changes on the creative path and the materials and stylistics innovations. As collecting instruments we used the work, techniques and materials observation found at the artist’s atelier, besides interviews and testimonies. The specific interest for the Auriovane D‘Ávila’s work is justified because that is inserted in a tradition of the art from Goiás, which tends to projects itself in the national and a global artistic circuit, and to publicize the painting with sand. This technique emerged by the researches of the acclaimed artist from Goiás, Goiandira do Couto, and got expanded through other artists, but it meets with, in the researched artist’s creation process, a very peculiar form of application, since he develops a creative identity that distinguish him, by trying to improve and magnify the original technique and from this one finding other approaches and expression ways. Therefore, this work can contribute by developing a creation process record of an artist who is inserted in the artistic tradition from Goiás who has as a particularity the development of painting with sand as a poetic resource already recognized inside this tradition. It still can contribute by presenting the possibilities of a research on the approach of Genetic Editing for posterior studies.
