A estética japonesa do mangá e sua influência na arte brasileira : em destaque, a obra de Akíla Gabriel

Abstract

In order to analyze the influential capacity of the manga aesthetic, especially for Brazilian youth in the 21st century, through its presence in various themes and aspects of the visual arts in Brazil, this paper takes a new look at Japanese comics, seeking to understand how a work of art can convey aspects of a particular cultural reality and influence artists in other social contexts. In this sense, a comparative analysis was carried out between the work “Vagabond”, by Inoue Takehiko, a Japanese artist, and the work “Forma ou Consciência”, by Akíla Gabriel, a Brazilian artist, in an attempt to understand how manga, an aesthetic of oriental culture, can influence the thinking of a Brazilian cartoonist and encourage him to build his work in such a distant country with such different cultures. This is a bibliographical study, with a qualitative and exploratory approach from the point of view of its objectives.
