    Delson Uchôa é um pesquisador da cor, trazendo a luminosidade própria da sua região, litoral de Alagoas, como ponto de partida. O processo artesanal com o qual realiza suas pinturas evidencia a materialidade e é incorporado pela obra. A partir da combinação entre resina e pigmentos, o artista produz "peles de tinta" com o acúmulo e secagem desses materiais, que são então transplantadas na obra.

     

    A obra Platibanda escotilha (2023) faz parte de uma série de pinturas que representam as fachadas das casas ribeirinhas de pau a pique do baixo São Francisco e traz o “couro-de-tinta”cultivado nas lajotas de barro batido do piso do ateliê do artista e, portanto, a impressão do local onde foi produzida. Essa identidade também é marcada pela presença dos pedaços de caniço papiro do Brasil, associados à palha de ouricuri, usada na construção da grade oval da escotilha. Para o artista, trata-se de “um corpo robusto que remete à essência do Nordeste brasileiro e da América Latina”.

     
     
    The main object in Delson Uchôa’s research is light, which he identifies with his region of origin: the city of Maceió, in northeast Brazil. It is through light that the artist works with time, color, texture and transparency – as well as scale, since most of his paintings have monumental dimensions and take years to finish. He also studies the natural chromaticity of the flora and fauna of that region, which he combines with the Northeastern popular constructive geometry. Considered one of the main artists of the “80s Generation” of Brazilian painting, Delson also works with photography and sculpture – practices he considers as ways of constructing colors, that is, as extensions of painting.
     
    With a degree in medicine received from the Federal University of Alagoas in 1981, Delson Uchôa studied painting at Fundação Pierre Chalita. He has held solo shows at renowned institutions such as the Museu Oscar Niemeyer (Curitiba, Brazil, 2023) Museu do Estado de Pernambuco (Recife, Brazil, 2022), Museu de Ecologia e Escultura (São Paulo, Brazil 2018), Ludwig Museum (Koblenz, Germany 2015), Centro Cultural São Paulo (São Paulo, Brazil, 2012), and Instituto Tomie Ohtake (São Paulo, Brazil 2003). He has participated extensively in national and international art biennials, such as those of Venice, São Paulo, Havana and Cairo, and his works figure in important collections, including those of Inhotim (Brumadinho, Brazil), the Museu de Arte Moderna do Rio de Janeiro (Brazil), the Museu de Arte Moderna de São Paulo (Brazil), the Pinacoteca do Estado de São Paulo (Brasil), the Vogt Collection (Berlin, Germany) and the York Stack Collection (Berlin, Germany).
