Esta é a primeira pintura de uma série de obras sobre a residência de James Frances King, do arquiteto Paulo Mendes da Rocha, que o artista está desenvolvendo. "Faz tempo que eu queria trabalhar com imagens da casa construída na Chácara Flora, na zona sul de São Paulo, entre 1971 e 1972. Meu interesse está principalmente focado na interação da estrutura com a vegetação do entorno (como em muitas residências do arquiteto), mas neste caso pretendo explorar particularmente o contraste do jardim interno - preservado pela inclinação do terreno e pelas paredes pintadas de azul e vermelho que o enquadram", conta Araujo. O uso da cor no concreto da arquitetura paulista é um assunto que o artista investiga desde um projeto, que realizou em 2015, sobre a casa Baeta (1956), de Villanova Artigas. "Esse projeto e as diretrizes que Artigas enunciou sobre a aplicação de cores primárias nos respectivos ambientes privados e comunitários da residência Baeta derivaram de uma série de associações históricas (arbitrárias de minha parte) sobre a origem da psicologia das cores a partir das ideias e experimentos narrados por Goethe em seu livro A Teoria da Cor, publicado em 1810, que fundou muitos dos conceitos desenvolvidos no curso preliminar ensinado um século depois por Johannes Itten na Bauhaus, em Weimar, durante 1922 e 1923.” [This is the first painting in a series of works that the artist is developing on the residence of James Frances King, by architect Paulo Mendes da Rocha. "For a long time, I have been wanting to work with images of the house built in Chácara Flora, in the south of São Paulo, between 1971 and 1972. My interest is mainly focused on the interaction of the structure with the surrounding vegetation (as in many houses of the architect) , but in this case I intend to explore particularly the contrast of the internal garden - preserved by the slope of the land and the walls painted in blue and red that surround it ", says Araujo. The use of color in the concrete of São Paulo architecture is a subject that the artist has investigated since a project from 2015 that he developed on the house Baeta (1956), by Villanova Artigas. "This project and the guidelines that Artigas enunciated on the application of primary colors in the respective private and community environments of the Baeta residence derived from a series of historical associations (arbitrary on my part) on the origin of color psychology from ideas and experiments narrated by Goethe in his book The Theory of Color, published in 1810, which founded many of the concepts developed in the preliminary course taught a century later by Johannes Itten at Bauhaus, in Weimar, during 1922 and 1923.”]
