Delson Uchôa investigates color, drawing inspiration from the natural lighting of his region, the coast of the state of Alagoas, as a starting point. The artisanal process he uses to produce his paintings emphasizes their materiality, which is incorporated into the work. By combining resin and pigments, the artist creates “paint skins” through the accumulation and drying of these materials, which are then “grafted” onto geometric figures. Layer upon layer of overlaid skins lend life to the paintings-objects as if they were actual graftings.

In 2023, Luciana Brito Galeria held an exhibition that marked Delson Uchôa’s return to the gallery’s roster of artists. The exhibition gave the public a first-time look at the artist’s latest research, including the work Caixilho Tabira. This piece combines the popular geometry of Northeastern Brazil with Bauhaus constructivist planimetry. The artist also uses Brazilian natural fibers, along with the sunlight of Alagoas and chromatic references from feather art and indigenous culture. This interaction of light with matter is woven into sophisticated geometric patterns, giving rise to contrasting optical phenomena.
