Rodrigo Magalhães - Emerenciano: À procura da linha recta

Emerenciano's work emerges as a questioning of the visual and calligraphic systems of writing and everything that surrounds it.

The meaning that derives from this is framed by the existential waves arising from the contingency of his restlessness, almost like an intuitive uprising to dismantle or interrogate these very supports of signifying discharge, because, for the artist, only the will to say can exist. Language demands to be read in an equal instance that stubbornly refuses any interpretative abuse directed at it, allowing itself, however, to be captured by painting constituted by an unstoppable vortex that consumes everything. More than writing paradigms, Emerenciano adds a multiplied symbolism of designs, images, existential values ​​of great qualitative value, intending to demonstrate them as intrinsic processes of artistic creation. Lines, fetuses, spirals, labyrinths, masks, as elements dialoguing with the pictorial spaces that absorb the dilemmatic impact of his conceptualizations. Above all, the work serves to question, to place under ontological discussion its place as an instance of existential refuge for man in the world.
