In "Untitled", Rosângela Dorazio superimposes engraving on photography. The artist subtracts the surface layer and makes the void, the white of the paper, appear. This action remains in the work. We can see the tears in the photograph, the threads that are still attached to the foreground and that must be there, since they compose the new image with it. The gesture deconstructs the captured image. There is a procedure of making for a conscious undoing, including the tension caused by technical control and the intrinsic risk in the definitive actions of cutting, in which lack of control so often arises. The images of plants and landscapes make us think of nature that changes and the impermanence of everything.
The prints can be purchased separately, for R$11,000.00 each.
Biography
Rosangela Dorazio
The prints, drawings, and photographs created by the artist always feature interventions that reinforce the idea of the image as a construction of meaning. A graduate in Fine Arts from FAAP, she was awarded prizes at the 28th Annual Arts Exhibition of the same institution and at the 2nd Itamaraty Contemporary Art Competition. She has participated in numerous solo and group exhibitions in Brazil and abroad. The artist's work is included in collections such as the Museum of Modern Art (MAM) of São Paulo, the Museum of Contemporary Art (MAC) of Fortaleza, Americana and Sorocaba, and the Peruvian-North American Institute.
From the beginning of her career, Dorazio has employed printmaking as her primary medium, demonstrating a strong interest in the interpretation of landscape and its memory. In the "Torres" series from 2003, or the "Jogo" series from 2004, Rosângela reproduces figures that fade away, gradually disappearing. In her more recent series, the artist works with prints over photographs of landscapes that end up erasing the traces of the original image, leaving visible only traces or reflections of what was depicted.
The artist states that “when you photograph, you record a landscape that has already died. When I make a print from that image, it’s as if I’m reviving that landscape. In printmaking, you also work with the notion of subtraction, but when you scrape the paper, the work gains volume.”
