Delson Uchôa takes the luminosity specific to his home region, the coast of Alagoas, as the starting point for his exploration of color. The artisanal process through which he makes his paintings foregrounds materiality and becomes integral to the work itself. By combining resin and pigments, the artist produces “paint skins” through the accumulation and drying of these materials, which are then transferred onto geometric figures, as seen in "Entretela" (2014). This “cultivated painting” emerged on the clay floor tiles of his studio, where he himself explains that layer upon layer of overlapping patches of paint film accumulated like true skin grafts, in a cumulative and organic process. The artist defines it as a painting with a constructivist vocation that combines the neoplasticism of northeastern Brazilian popular geometry with the libertarian spirit of a "Parangolé".
