In a visual archaeology that constructs itself through the scarring of the reappropriated image, Maltchique (1979, Pouso Alegre, MG) investigates the chronic ruptures caused by algorithms in the social fabric, which manifest in the flaws inherent to the image transfer process. From this operation emerges a kind of pictorial hallucination, where the image comes to embody itself — remixed, regurgitated, imprinted, or painted onto the support — in sculptural corporification, material complexity, and images charged with symbolism. Thus, the artist creates an algorithmic topography populated by undefined figures, partially recognizable forms, and phantasmagoric bodies, in superpositions of multiple temporalities. The result is the amalgam of a sedimented memory between the flesh and the synthetic that challenges perception and redirects the gaze, evidencing the magical nature and the character of incessant mutation of the image. Between the two-dimensional and the three-dimensional, the artist seeks to articulate a hybrid production between painting and sculpture, involving manual, mechanized, or artificial intelligence-assisted execution.
