São experiências contínuas desenvolvidas pela artista desde 2005. Objetificam-se em desenhos realizados em caneta dourada que trazem uma camada de ouro sobre imagens de pintura extraídas e recortadas por ela de catálogos de arte. Em sua maioria, as imagens têm características de retrato ou de paisagem que definem um determinado tempo da história da arte entre os séculos XVI e XIX. Um trabalho on going.

Ouro Flexível, assim como outros trabalhos de Laura Lima, costuram um conceito desenvolvido por ela, que é a filosofia ornamental. No século XX, e por causa do pensamento de escassez das guerras e na presença da arte conceitual, muitas vezes houve um detour que concentrou as linhas numa forma mais simples (o minimalismo, por exemplo). Em contraponto, os ornamentos, a possibilidade de lascívia, da luxúria ou mesmo a ideia de poder e seu viés político, são reflexões presentes na obra da artista.


These are continuous experiments developed by the artist since 2005. They are objectified in drawings made in gold pen that bring a layer of gold over painting images extracted and cut by her from art catalogs. Most images have portrait or landscape characteristics that define a certain time in art history between the 16th and 19th centuries. A work in process.

“Ouro Flexível” as well as other works by Laura Lima, sew a concept developed by her, which is the ornamental philosophy. In the 20th century, and because of the scarcity of wars and the presence of conceptual art, there was often a detour that concentrated the lines in a simpler form (minimalism, for example). In contrast, the ornaments, the possibility of lust, luxury or even the idea of power and its political ways, are reflections present in the artist's work.
