El Dibujo Artístico de CAU GÓMEZ Por: Francisco Puñal


Con más de 50 premios en diversos festivales y salones del humor en Brasil y el mundo, entre ellos el PortoCartoon, de Oporto, Portugal; la Bienal de la Caricatura de Santa Cruz de Tenerife, España; el Concurso del Museo del Humor de Fene, Galicia; y el Festival de Foz de Iguazú, el dibujante brasileño Cau Gomez, posee una obra imponente caracterizada por un dominio técnico, un trazo fuerte y una pincelada de color que trasciende el diseño.
Cau Gómez, junto a otros caricaturistas brasileños como Ziraldo, Dalcio Machado, Ronaldo, Paulo Caruso, Jal, Elihu, y otros muchos, ha conquistado un reconocimiento internacional al llevar sus magníficos dibujos a otras latitudes y mostrar un trabajo osado e irreverente, que se ocupa de los problemas más actuales.
Cau tiene 42 años y nació en Belo Horizonte. Por más de una década, trabajó como artista gráfico, caricaturista e ilustrador en los principales medios de prensa de Brasil: Estado de Sao Paulo, Jornal do Brasil, Revista Playboy y otros. Actualmente reside en Bahía y publica sus dibujos en el periódico A Tarde en Salvador, y colabora con la revista Courrier Internacional, en Francia.
Sus dibujos humorísticos, sin texto, ratifican que el autor está siempre en sintonía con la cultura de sus lectores, y en permanente experimentación.
El dibujo que le valió Gran Premio que obtuvo en el 2002 en el PortoCartoon, y que aquí reproduzco, es todo un símbolo, pleno de ironía: un espantapájaro vestido de turista, con cámara fotográfica incluida, asusta a las aves que se acercan. Sin duda, fue un premio merecido por su concepción, su fuerza pictórica y porque ratifica cómo el humor desempeña el papel de entrenador de la mente.
La imagen poética del dibujante que semeja, al acostarse sobre plumillas con puntos afilados, ser un faquir que practica duros ejercicios de mortificación, o la imagen del cowboy Bush que se guarda la sonrisa, son ejemplos de su ferviente imaginación.
El humor –me dice Cau Gómez a quien conocí personalmente en su visita a Fene, Galicia, cuando recibió el Premio Curuxa- me permite respirar creativamente y me deja fluir las ideas, en una sintonía que potencia mi trabajo de autor.
La ironía –añade Cau- está presente en algunos de mis diseños, y es un arma "mortífera" para atacar y criticar la ceguera de los poderosos.
Este portentoso dibujante e ilustrador brasileño que defiende la tesis de que el humor es bueno todos los días.

PORTUGAL, uma VERGONHA DE PAÌS

VERGONHA é comparar a Reforma de um Deputado com a de uma Viúva.
VERGONHA é um Cidadão ter que descontar 35 anos para receber Reforma e aos Deputados bastarem somente 3 ou 6 anos conforme o caso e que aos membros do Governo para cobrar a Pensão Máxima só precisam do Juramento de Posse.

VERGONHA é que os Deputados sejam os únicos Trabalhadores (???) deste País que estão Isentos de 1/3 do seu salário em IRS.

VERGONHA é pôr na Administração milhares de Assessores (leia-se Amigalhaços) com Salários que desejariam os Técnicos Mais Qualificados.

VERGONHA é a enorme quantidade de Dinheiro destinado a apoiar os Partidos, aprovados pelos mesmos Políticos que vivem deles.

VERGONHA é que a um Político não se exija a mínima prova de Capacidade para exercer o Cargo (e não falamos em Intelectual ou Cultural).

VERGONHA é o custo que representa para os Contribuintes a sua Comida, Carros Oficiais, Motoristas, Viagens (sempre em 1ª Classe), Cartões de Crédito.

VERGONHA é que s. exas. tenham quase 5 meses de Férias ao Ano (48 dias no Natal, uns 17 na Semana Santa mesmo que muitos se declarem não religiosos, e uns 82 dias no Verão).

VERGONHA é s. exas. quando cessam um Cargo manterem 80% do Salário durante 18 meses.

VERGONHA é que ex-Ministros, ex-Secretários de Estado e Altos Cargos da Política quando cessam são os únicos Cidadãos deste País que podem legalmente acumular 2 Salários do Erário Público.

VERGONHA é que se utilizem os Meios de Comunicação Social para transmitir à Sociedade que os Funcionários só representam encargos para os Bolsos dos Contribuintes.

VERGONHA é ter Residência em Sintra e Cobrar Ajudas de Custo pela deslocação à Capital porque dizem viver em outra Cidade.

2ND “CARTOON AFRICA INTERNATIONAL BIENNIAL” (CAIB) FESTIVAL 2014

RELOADED:
International Press Release; January, 2014:           
THE INITIAL CALL FOR ENTRIES FOR THE 2ND “CARTOON AFRICA INTERNATIONAL BIENNIAL” (CAIB) FESTIVAL 2014

CAIB 2014 THEME/BACKGROUND INFORMATION: While professionally showcasing, promoting and rewarding excellence in the cartoon and comic Art industry across Africa and globally, the CAIB collaborative agenda seeks to explore how Art and multimedia innovations, in synergy with other allied fields of endeavour, can provide Answer to a wide variety of issues and concerns in favour of Africa’s sustainable development and productivity within the framework of  human dignity, equality, peace and godliness, in line with the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)  and the New Partnership for African Development (NEPAD),and in the context of the UNESCO Social and Human Sciences Sector’s (SHS) call for innovative ideas in favour of Africa’s development within the new decade.

RATIONALE: The adage that a picture is worth a thousand words is not far-fetched: One image can communicate more than dozens of pages of text or hours of speeches. One image can change the course of history. Editorial cartoons draw attention to important political, economic, and social issues like nothing else. Using symbols or visual metaphors, their reach transcends country borders and language barrier”.  We are deploying Art and  visual journalism in the context of press cartooning,  cartoon animations, comics/graphic humour, etc, as a creative education, awareness spreading and public enlightenment strategy to draw attention, promote fiscal development and human dignity, to celebrate excellence, drive productivity, equity, moral capital development and innovative cross cultural resources development and exchanges across Africa in a global context.

The 2014 edition of CARTOON AFRICA INTERNATIONAL BIENNIAL (CAIB) festival will hold in the last quarter of 2014. African illustrators, press cartoonists, cartoon animators, etc, and their colleagues around the globe will once again gather in Nigeria, in 2014, through their comedic art, creative education and visual journalism works - Caricatures, editorial cartoons, comic strips, cartoon animations, photo cartoons, etc - to lend a strong voice to the theme above, addressing Africa’s development needs and challenges in a global context.
