It argues that Jorge Guinle\'s painting, although concentrated only in the last seven years of the artist\'s life, established a profound dialogue with the art of the twentieth century, without failing, however, to undertake an investigation of its own time.

As palavras no titulo desta tese \"Tipotretaletra\", se referem ao lugar da letra na pesquisa em poéticas na forma do trabalho escrito de cárater acadêmico. A treta por um lado é tensão; de outro são as estratégias necessárias para conviver a produção artística e produção acadêmica. O tipo pode ser uma maneira, um jeito ou o suporte físico para a impressão da letra, a treta como estratégia e método, a letra como letreiramento, a letra desenho e projeto; e o letramento, a letra como alfabetização, habilidade com o código desenvolvida por meio da educação. Todas as três palavras se relacionam de algum modo à pesquisa e ampliação de suportes é uma palavra em questão nesta tese a proposito dos vários caminhos e materialidades que compõem os trabalhos, desde a pintura, a performance, a tipografia, o objeto. / The title ofthis thesis \"Tipotretaletra\" refer to the place ofthe word in a research ofvisual arts, about the form ofwritten word in a academic work. The \"treta\" as confusion as a tension; are strategies needed to live together the artistic production and academic production. The \"tipo\" can be like a typeface or a way to do anything. the \"treta\" as a strategy and method. The lettering, like a particular style ou the process ofwrinting, drawing or print words, the design ofthe letter; and the letter as literacy, like the ability to read and write acquired through education. All three words are related in some way to researches Mukambu which can be translated as support in Kikongo, refers from the stick with two people carry an object; Also can be a technology that use forks to support the ridge ofa house; support is a word in this thesis like several materiality that was made de art work, from painting, performance, typograpy, object.

Possibly, Maybe is an exhibition of polychromatic, process-based objects made out of acrylic paint. Working with and against the limits of the material, the paint is systematically cast, peeled, and stretched colour by colour transforming it into three-dimensional hybrid forms. The working process I devise is predetermined and regulated, yet the element of chance is integral to the work due to material constraints. I explore the sculptural potential and plasticity of a material traditionally used for painting. While acrylic is a relatively new material, designed to be durable and long lasting, the forms I create out of acrylic paint are vulnerable to climate, gravity, and time and therefore counter plastic’s perceived resilience. Possibly, Maybe looks within the marginalized and the failed of our everyday, and uses these as aesthetic elements, which can constitute contemporary cultural potential. Through an engagement with the fallibility of plastic, with the hybridity of artistic practice, and the excess, opulence, and decay of the Baroque, my work plays with the paradoxes and relationships between the high and the low, pure and impure, precious and throw-away, which I find are all elements that exemplify our contemporary culture.

Each painting in this exhibition is a transformed documentation of a specific experience culled from my daily, ordinary life. These encounters are not monumental; however their impact is significant because of their disturbing, disgusting, puzzling and humourously entertaining qualities. The awkwardness and resulting ambiguity of my imagery is defined through connections to the uncanny, the surreal, the grotesque and the literary genre of tragicomedy. The work also acknowledges a strong relationship to historic traditions within painting and aspires to use comedy to provide an opportunity for viewers to retrieve and recreate a moment of personal history.

The objective of my thesis is to extend the scholarship on colour in painting by focusing on how it is employed within the structuring framework of the orthogonal grid in the paintings of three contemporary artists, Ad Reinhardt, Agnes Martin and Gerhard Richter. Form and colour are essential elements in painting, and within the “essentialist” grid painting, the presence and function of colour have not received the full discussion they deserve. Structuralist, post-structuralist and anthropological modes of critical analysis in the latter part of the twentieth century, framed by postwar disillusionment and skepticism, have contributed to the effective foreclosure of examination of metaphysical, spiritual and utopian dimensions promised by the grid and its colour earlier in the century. Artists working with the grid have explored, and continue to explore the same eternally vexing problems and mysteries of our existence, but analyses of their art are cloaked in an atmosphere and language of rationalism. Critics and scholars have devoted their attention to discussing the properties of form, giving the behavior and status of colour, as a property affecting mind and body, little mention. The position of colour deserves to be re-dressed, so that we may have a more complete understanding of grid painting as a discrete kind of abstract painting. Each of the three artists I have examined here employed colour and grid in strategies unique to their work and its purposes. Ad Reinhardt arrived at his 1960s “black” paintings out of a background that included strong political beliefs, resistance to the dominant strain of 1950s Abstract Expressionism, and a deep interest in eastern religions and Buddhism. Agnes Martin shared Reinhardt’s interest in Buddhism and eastern religions, but chose to move toward the light in the atmospheric colour of her paintings, speaking of the quest for perfection of the mind in her writings and interviews. Gerhard Richter’s colour charts, a longstanding major subset of the vast range of this prolific artist’s work, speak to a need to go beyond his love of painting to the ungraspable substance of colour itself. / Thesis (Master, Art History) -- Queen's University, 2011-09-27 12:34:58.813

Series of the pictures on the material-direct principle. It means I paint by the material which I show.
