Vicente Baltar (Rio de Janeiro, 1999)
Voo 5, da série Sintomas Alados, articula os ofícios da olaria e da serralheria, onde cerâmica e ferro soldado se encontram. Vicente Baltar trabalha com barro e ferro para capturar o lapso de movimento de um corpo em estado intenso de vida. As formas cerâmicas evocam a ideia de corporeidade, imaginando o que pode ser expresso como corpo. Ao unir partes que remetem ao corpo, o artista emana silhuetas a partir da escuridão da terra que molda — corpos animais, vegetais, celulares ou humanos — suspensos em pleno voo.

A ação de voar se manifesta através do ferro, com hastes lisas que envolvem o corpo cerâmico, articulando o desejo do artista de fazê-lo alçar voo. A matéria parece em repouso, porém capturada no espaço-tempo, como numa fotografia. Gesto e corpo se unem, apresentando passado e presente em um único instante.


[Vicente Baltar (Rio de Janeiro, 1999)
Voo 5, from the series Sintomas Alados, brings together the crafts of pottery and metalwork, where ceramics and welded iron intersect. Vicente Baltar works with clay and iron to capture the fleeting movement of a body in an intense state of life. The ceramic forms evoke corporeality, imagining what can be expressed as body. By combining parts that allude to the body, he emanates silhouettes from the darkness of the earth he shapes—animal, vegetal, cellular, or human—suspended in a state of flight.

The act of flying is suggested through the iron, with smooth rods tracing movements around the ceramic body, articulating the artist’s desire to make it soar. The matter appears at rest, yet captured in space-time, like a photographic instant. Gesture and body converge, presenting past and present in a single moment.]
