Arteloucura na criação artística de Alceu Rodrigues

Abstract

What is proposed in this study is to develop a reflection on Arteloucura that allows other ways of looking at the works of people with psychic suffering, without categorizing or differentiating what is madness (pathology) and what is institutional art. The main objective of this work is the creation of a space of interlocution between art, madness and life, fertile space to analyze and enjoy the works, in his technique and poetics. In addition, we will present the work of the artist Juizforano Alceu Rodrigues dos Santos, diagnosed as a schizophrenic, lover of culture, music and fine arts. Artist who had a potent pictorial production, using the spaces of mental health of Juiz de Fora to develop his work. To develop this reflection on the creative power of Alceu Rodrigues, we will use as theoretical support authors such as Peter Pál Pelbart, Michael Foucault, Patrícia Burrowes, Suely Rolnik, Gilles Deleuze, Rosa Dias, Viviane Mosé, among others; as well as interviews with friends and professionals who followed Alceu's artistic trajectory, since there are few records about the artist and his pictorial production.
