An inaccessible psychic place or the exploration of processes and situations likely to question the tensions between observing and perceiving, far beyond logical and rational expectations, are some of the motives that animate Chico Aragão's artistic imagination.
His flexible yet precise photographic language focuses on the characteristics of photography itself, its possibilities for material realization, its contiguous relationship with light and time.
Aragão produces similes, frictions, figures and forms that repeat themselves, plays of light, visualities prone to aesthetic, conceptual and symbolic derivations in an elegant and refined way. His images are curious, polysemous. We see staged landscapes often resulting from chance, objects, states of matter, transitive processes, ruptures, cycles of disintegration and renewal.
Chico Aragão's photographs point to a certain demand for observation, attentive and available, generous, intuitive, intense and creative.
The images show realities that are sometimes static, and the challenge is to rediscover the nature and purpose of our gaze, and through it, to arrive at the full experience of the visible.
