Pain: the weave that wears the work of Nazareth Pacheco

Abstract

Focusing on the work of artist Nazareth Pacheco, this article approaches a pain as the (in)visible sensation that is present in her poetics. The text, divided into three parts, starts with a brief history and presents three works produced by the artist who, in turn, contribute to creating the visual clipping of the discourse that the writing here proposes to think about. It continues with the argument based on three art critics and their respective criticisms about the artist’s production. Finally, the writing of the last topic, discusses the personal experience of pain as a possibility of building the poetic subjectivity of the body to the work.
