Time confers on the works that end up remaining in the studio some physical or conceptual wear and, constantly, the artist looking around, considers the need to redesign some of his "creatures" - if not as poetic, at least as a form . And it is in this clash between the past (and its resulting experiences) and the daily reality of the atelier, where this collection that accumulates begins to have the weight of rubble, which the artist seeks, through ideas, techniques, attempts , the successes and the mistakes he has made, his spoils. In an act of detachment, such works and ideas become support for other searches, for new journeys where what seemed to have already been explored reveals other discoveries and new landscapes. This series consists of works done on others that have lost the, say, "tram of history".
Mixed media on burned plywood. Framed on the edges with dark brown wood. Ready to hang.

Claudio Boczon is a painter and photographer born on January 20, 1968 in Curitiba, Paraná, where he lives and works. He began his artistic and plastic research at the Painting Studio of the Alfredo Andersen Museum, under the direction of Ronald Simon. He also attended painting, printmaking and photography workshops and internships with artists such as Leda Catunda, Dulce Osinski, Geraldo Leão, Eliane Prolik, Dudi Maia Rosa, Patrícia Canetti and Lya Uba.
Since 1999, he has participated in art fairs and collective and individual exhibitions winning five prizes in total. His most significant exhibitions have taken place at the Alfredo Andersen Museum, at the 5th National Art Fair of Goiás, at the 31st Art Fair of Ribeirão Preto...
Claudio Boczon's work focuses on a game of contrasts and physicality between layering and transparency, seeking to hide and reveal equally. This layering process aims to show the corporeity of the two-dimensional work, highlighting every mistake and every new direction taken, in order to remind us of the painting process.
What drives his research is the curiosity to find the beauty hidden in the everyday, in the supports and the pictorial material, and to bring it to the surface, so that the viewer questions and appreciates aspects to which he would not normally give attention. importance.
His research and production are strongly influenced by Tachisme and Arte Povera, as well as the recycling and reuse of materials, ideas and concepts. Often, by using his own older works, reconstructing them and creating new collages from them, he recycles both the physical element and the concepts underlying those works.
Claudio Boczon has works in institutional and private collections in Brazil and abroad, as well as critical texts published in exhibition catalogs. His work is characterized by great technical mastery and great poetic sensitivity, making him one of the most talented artists of his generation.
