Plaster Perception
MarcoMake 2021 - LISBOA
The process of attributing meaning to sensory inputs from the external environment.
Visual phenomena of color perception that do not obey only the laws that derive from the physical properties of the light stimuli.
Sense of spatial depth to two-dimensional images.
Digital graphics, spray art, graffiti, typography are transformed into tools in the research of the study of perception, which allow the artist to deepen their reactions before plays of light, The colors and shapes that the external environment offers, Using the pictorial technique, the research focuses on the discovery of the reactions of the end-user.

Is the beginning of everything, the full stroke of the spray, on a background that represents the rising of the sun, the striped architectural element is attributed to many works by MarcoMake, an element that repeats after the work done at Farm Cultural Park and which has become an icon of the works carried out subsequently, an element of recognition of MarcoMake by people.

It is the second painting, the full day, self-awareness, the elements of recognition leave room for experimentation, research with ups and downs, color, the directions that experience makes us take, we are still alive.

are the moments in which experimentation and the comfort zone fight, one feels closed, trapped by conventions that are not part of our period, the choice to represent with the letter K is not a coincidence, in fact K is key, the key that allows us to reopen ourselves to new experiences.

The key used reopens the element creating a gash that already shows the end of the day, the colors of the sunset. The end of a day is always the beginning of a new era. the element of the full stroke of the spray is transformed into a stroke of the Photoshop eraser tool, thus revealing the classic grid of the software that indicates the absence of graphic elements.
The collection continues with 4 other paintings, in which the black and white striped element is almost completely absent, only in one of the paintings does it reappear, in the overlapping of 2 warm/cold elements representing what becomes the blending method in graphics (exclude).
