Towards the end of the 1950s, the relationship between color, space and expression in
Carvão’s work continued to mature toward a liberation and spatialization of color. In Claro-vermelho (Light-Red, 1959) phase and the Cromáticas (Chromatics) phase (1957-1960), the line condenses in chromatic density, which in turn proceeds to materialize, gaining texture and thickness. Indeed, what this color acquires is its own temporality, which moves indefinitely between tone and form.
The very complex use of tonal colours in Carvão, with unbound pigments, brings a lot of texture to the picture plane and a more attentive gaze to the beholder.
