MIL MANEIRAS DE MATAR O TEMPO: O MOVIMENTO DO OLHAR NAS PINTURAS DE TALITA HOFFMANN

Exposição na Piccola Galleria – Casa Fiat de Cultura, Belo Horizonte

“Mil maneiras de matar o tempo” parece dizer tudo já em seu título. Inspirada em uma passagem do livro, Um homem que dorme, do escritor francês Georges Perec, a exposição de Talita Hoffmann nos convida a experimentar uma relação particular com o tempo: aquela em que podemos permanecer diante de uma imagem, percorrê-la com os olhos e descobrir, a cada instante, novos elementos que parecem surgir da própria composição. Em suas telas, a artista apresenta paisagens urbanas construídas por meio de pinceladas vibrantes, fragmentos arquitetônicos e sobreposições que despertam a curiosidade do observador. Há algo de instigante nessa experiência: enquanto percorremos cada pintura, não percebemos o tempo passar. Ao contrário, somos convidados a permanecer nela, atentos aos detalhes e às pequenas descobertas que se revelam ao longo da observação. Talita Hoffmann possui formação em Design e com isso existe uma organização cuidadosa dos elementos, que parece atravessar sua construção visual, formas e espaços, que conduz o olhar por diferentes pontos da composição. Suas paisagens urbanas parecem suspensas entre o tempo e o espaço, criando uma sensação de urbanização, transformação e movimento. O olhar do observador percorre cada detalhe como quem acompanha uma sequência de imagens, descobrindo novas possibilidades de interpretação. Em alguns momentos, a experiência diante das telas me remete à linguagem do slow motion, ideia ressaltada pela própria artista e é como se cada pintura fosse um frame de um filme em construção. A cada novo deslocamento do olhar, uma sequência imaginária se estabelece e continua. Os fragmentos parecem ganhar movimento, e aquilo que inicialmente se apresenta como uma paisagem estática passa a sugerir uma narrativa que se constrói na percepção de quem observa.

A artista trabalha com uma figuração sutil e delicada, articulada a uma paleta cromática que combina tons claros e cores vibrantes. Essa escolha faz com que às obras tenha uma presença visual particular, equilibrando delicadeza e ousadia. As imagens parecem se organizar diante de nossos olhos, como se cada fragmento constituísse uma parte de um todo que nunca está completamente acabado. Há algo de quase fractal nessa percepção: partes que se relacionam, se multiplicam e produzem novas sensações à medida que nos aproximamos das pinturas. Algo interessante é a maneira como essas paisagens parecem guardar vestígios de acontecimentos. Mesmo sem a presença de figuras humanas, há indícios de ocupação, transformação e movimento. São espaços que parecem existir entre aquilo que já aconteceu e o que ainda está por acontecer, isso é algo que nos faz permanecer com o olhar em cada detalhe da tela e é muito legal de observar, essa ideia temporal amplia a experiência de observação.

O título da exposição ganha, assim, uma dimensão particularmente interessante. Matar o tempo, nesse contexto, deixa de representar simplesmente uma maneira de preencher os momentos vazios e passa a ser uma experiência de contemplação. Diante de cada tela, o tempo parece adquirir outra velocidade: desacelera, se fragmenta e se transforma conforme nosso olhar percorre as imagens. Talvez essa seja uma das maiores provocações da exposição: perceber que o tempo também pode ser experimentado pela maneira como olhamos e o que olhamos. “Mil maneiras de matar o tempo” é um convite a observar com mais atenção, descobrir novas relações entre imagens e experimentar o movimento que existe mesmo naquilo que parece imóvel. Talita Hoffmann apresenta uma produção versátil, que dialoga com questões da visualidade contemporânea e nos instiga a participar da construção de sentidos de suas paisagens. Quer matar um pouquinho o tempo então visita à Piccola Galleria da Casa Fiat de Cultura, em Belo Horizonte no período de 06 de outubro a 22 de novembro de 2026, e pode conferir a experiência de percorrer a exposição em seu formato virtual. Afinal, diante das pinturas de Talita Hoffmann, talvez existam mesmo mil maneiras de passar o tempo e algumas delas começam simplesmente quando decidimos parar para olhar.

Meeting "Cashew" Exhibition


        The "Cashew" exhibition is named after a very popular fruit in Brazil. We call “cashew” is divided into two parts: the fruit, which is the chestnut, and the pseudo-fruit, formed by the juicy, pyriform floral peduncle, yellow, pink or red. The cashew tree, a tropical plant from Brazil, typical in the northeast, particularly in Natal, we have the largest cashew tree in the world, located on Pirangi do Norte beach in the municipality of Parnamirim, twelve kilometers south of Natal, capital of State of Rio Grande do Norte.  
      Cashew is one of my favorite fruits, so I'm have fond childhood memories were activated upon entering cashew exhibition so I'm  made a video that showed you can check out below.


          On February 3, 2024, the edition cycle of the series Meeting about Cashew was return, the action to the Cashew Exhibition, open to the public at the Pinacoteca do Estado do RN, in Cidade Alta, Natal-RN/Brazil. In this edition, entitled Meeting with the Chef: cashew ceviche, there was a demonstration of the preparation of the dish carried out by the executive chef of Grupo Camarões, Divalmir Souza. 
             I can say that it was an "Explosion of Flavors" to taste the dish, if you liked Cashew it and even those who are not very fond of fruit, you will love tasting the combination that the chef made.
       Ceviche is a delicacy of South American cuisine, especially in Peru, where it is considered a typical dish. In Potiguar lands, it gains a touch of originality and flavor, now with cashew as the main ingredient. The guided tour of the Caju exhibition, with the presence of the exhibiting artists, was a fantastic immersion.
    The exhibition will run until March this year.

Little bit about me, Creative process, Relationship into Arts, Science and Technology

Describe your background and how it relates to your Arts

I' m began my process like research’s about Arts, Science and Technology when I'm studied Visual Arts at 2004, and getting my Bachelor’s Degree in Visual Arts (Feb 2008) from federal university of Rio Grande do Norte, Natal/ Brazil, so with that my experience like teacher at class rooms with kids and younger, I'm see news opportunities and perception about the studied of Arts and your process at the world.  That always happens and transitions, so actually this relationship into science and technology don’t on way separately all this is continue process the evolution humanity since Pre historic art’s until contemporary art's.
So I’m studied about Materials Science and Engineering when I'm understand about experimental process and structure the materials. My area of expertise is about chemical syntheses, colors and optical process are my biggest interest. I'm think about all mechanic process of the colors and special about  pigment blue,  and how the blue pigment long the history have different forms of the intention this is very interesting for the art's world and the science and the technology too. I’m work with this  process when  I’m concluded  my master's degree at  materials science and engineering (Dez 2012, UFRN/Brazil) with the research about structure of material, inorganic pigments, chemical routes and the characteristics of the materials about optimization of cobalt aluminate blue used chemical synthesis and statistical design.


                                 Sweet dreams (at process), 2018 acrylic on canvas 


My PhD, one part realized at UFRN (Brazil) and (Oregon State University -OSU- USA) it’s about researched about inorganic pigments, whit used in different synthesis routes at YInMnO blue pigment who I'm call this for “one experience in Blue”, this process beginning into 2007 and concludes at 2008. This is paintings workings are about my experience at chemistry department at OSU at Subramanian Research Group laboratory, when I’m learn more about colors and yours different properties for used different shadows and deep blue so it is my concept and my signature like artists where I’m used different technical at my paintings, insert my references: Picasso’s, Van Gogh's, Pop Art, Minimalism, Tropicalism (movement from my country  Brazil) and contemporary arts at generally. All the artists tell one history, so the people around me, also done part this process because when your moved for other country exist one adaptation only possible if you living and learn more with different people but never forget your country like reference, so I'm used this process at my paintings too. My experience like research's area   at science and Engineering too is  mine  influence  at my paintings and I'm worked same time both when I'm concluded  my writing thesis  on Inorganic pigments: the Synthesis and Characterization of YInMnO3 blue pigment using the Complex Polymerization Method (CPM), like so how about my research my paintings represent  different deep: light, dark  of Blue.  All artists tell one history so my paintings say about me, my research life's,  my journey about the world , my perception see the humanity and like I’m continue this practice and the learn and learn more as a researcher.

Who are your biggest influences and why?

My biggest influences of arts are Pablo Picasso (Blue Period- between 1901 and 1904), Van Gogh (Starry Night, 1889), I'm thinking all the contemporary arts and your process influence myself and my process creative. I'm having research about structure at pigments and associated with artistic process ideas about the artistic fundamentals science (Leonardo Da Vince and the Realism). I'm think about the society; culture and this process like different movements artistic happening both at Brazil like at USA whit different context. Actually the process artistic are my influence are:  modernism, minimalism, tropicalism (Brazil ), pop Art, each they have one process  different country for country but the influence generally context the culture identity for  lot peoples. The arts of the world cause influence in my creation process and I'm search always about it the change this process.

Describe your artistic practice 

My artistic practice is happening now at this moment, each artist tells a story and lives a moment, this is my artistic process, the possibility of telling my perception, using artistic references to do this and joining my work as a researcher in materials science and engineering . So I'm think about my practice is always at movement, always in modification, like as ideas and movement, the time is flyer and don't stop and ideas as well. My process it about the society and it's culture. The process of art, science and technology that are necessary evolution for people and the world. I'm see my process always in practice and evolving, sometimes controversial and critical in connect to the arts and science with the technology, but it is necessary for the social and cultural development of what we have today called technological evolution, so everything ends up connecting.

Arts, Science
&Technology  

My process creative it's about  my experience last year (2017) at Corvallis (OR) when spend my time at OSU (Oregon State University) for concluded my PhD at Materials Science Engineering at  Subramanian research group (Department of Chemistry- OSU) with Professor Mas Subramanian Ph.D. Milton Harris Chair Professor in Materials Science Department of Chemistry who Discovery YInMnO3 Blue Pigment at 2009. 


The Story of YInMn Blue :


Process creative

My biggest influences for this paintwork are :

}  Picasso (Blue Period- between 1901 and 1904);
}  Van Gogh (Starry Night, 1889);
}   Contemporary Arts (today);
}  My research about structure, pigments : “Synthesis and Characterization of Y (In,Mn) O3 Blue Pigment Using the Complex Polymerization Method (CPM)”-Published at Ceramics International 2018;



}   The society, culture and  the direct influence the process artistic of my country , Brazil with Modernism ( during the late 19th Century and early 20th Century) and Tropicalism was a movement of rupture that shook Brazilian popular music and culture between 1967 and 1968.
}  The arts of the world, the my city,  largest city of the state Rio Grande do Norte, located in northeastern Brazil and the people around me have influence in my creation process.















Sail (2016) 

Sail, 2016 (Mixed techniques acrylic painting, graffiti influence of Surrealism Art, 20X30).



About this paintwork :  You know those things that you feel like saying, but those words are repressed in your emotions by a crazy emotion you end up repressing yourself and  sayed do not do it for fear, fear dominates you frightens, so make do have consequences: Almost all the disease the modern world like depression and panic syndrome it's about it.  So you feeling observed, frustrate and lost, and makes you forget who it's  you. I'm realize that we can have this moment about fear it's are feeling and ours minds like human. This are questions  who asked our self so it's real life so this feelings : anger, love, passion, hate walk together with fear. The fear overwhelms you, terrifies you and makes you tremble like a piece "of green stick", like a punch that tears your heart as slowly as possible, so you know when you working that pain a little, but it's possible grown and sail. 

 This influence this paintwork is about the surrealism art, and like the human working your unconscious at difference and the possibilities, this my  paint work talk about it: it's one studying series about fear, courage, and the construction the culture model  society at contemporary art and when so I'm beginning  at 2016  explore and talking  more about my process creative and have inspirations at one this my favorite song of the Brazilian sing Chico Buarque de Holanda who have the name Argonauts who say at chorus : 



'' Sailing is necessary

Living does not need"



This concept the surrealism art at working the mind human, it's very important for consolidate my process creative about the society, culture and  the direct influence the process artistic of my country , Brazil with Modernism ( during the late 19th Century and early 20th Century) and Tropicalism was a movement of rupture that shook Brazilian popular music and culture between 1967 and 1968 but think about contemporary art and my process this moment at 2019.

The great Gatsby (2013)

Whats up? The Great Gatsby !

I'm always sometimes see again movies like it who this 5th adaptation for movie, whit the recent win the Leonardo DiCaprio at Oscar at 2016, best actor for the Revenant (with Alejandro González Iñárritu, 2016). This  Great Gatsby movie was released at 2013 with Baz Luhrmann (who directed him in Romeo + Juliet, 1996), an adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's 1925 novel, also starring Carey Mulligan, Joel Edgerton and Tobey Maguire; and  received mixed reviews from critics.  DiCaprio's portrayal as Jay Gatsby was praised : "As for Leonardo DiCaprio, he is now the Gatsby to beat. Despite a borderline comedic entrance – haloed by fireworks and accompanied by Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue"—DiCaprio nails this maddeningly enigmatic character who I'm liked so much. Sometimes I'm agree with the critics who said : He's as tough as Alan Ladd in '49, as suave as Redford in '74, but also vulnerable, touching, funny, a faker, a human. You hear it all in Gatsby's favorite phrase, "old sport," a verbal tic that stumped other actors. It's a tremendous, hard-won performance and enigmatic. Matt Zoller Seitz of Roger Ebert described his performance as Gatsby as "The movie's greatest and simplest special effect," and states "This is an iconic performance—maybe his career best." The film grossed $348 million worldwide and became Luhrmann's highest-grossing film. 

I'm considered is actually this movie who have one big guy who try have one different history, trying change for one big love and I'm think about it who's never do mistakes for one biggest love and  who's  never want been one bit one  Great Gatsby  moment it's  life only for been ironic too.  I'm confess for you it's one big history who it one this Biggest who have one movie who you can been  watching anything moment your life and your point perspective about sometimes stuff it's changing when spend time.
