Vermilion, sometimes spelled vermillion, when found naturally occurring, is an opaque orangish red pigment, used since antiquity, originally derived from the powdered mineral cinnabar. Its name is derived from the French vermeil which was used to mean any red dye, and which itself comes from vermiculum, a red dye made from the insect Kermes vermilio.[1] The word for the color red in Portuguese (vermelho) derives from this term. in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vermilion
Vermilion series
The Vermilion series is a collection of drawings performed by Eduardo Benamor Duarte in several interior environments since 2006. Divided between New York and Lisbon, the common link between these works is the use of vermilion ink brush on dry wall or paper.Each series were performed continuously along periods of 60 minutes.
Vermilion series #1

Approach
For several years, Eduardo Benamor Duarte has been using the graffiti technique as a way to explore and investigate the prefiguration of his design concepts. His technique aims to investigate the idea of spatiality and scale by transposing on the registers of the classical drawing techniques on the physical space of the wall of its installation.The effect of this technique is the contamination of the classical drawings and the expansion of their boundaries and their transposition to the figurative field of the graffiti.The result is to coax the definition of a new genre by the imposed cohabitation of the two registers: the graffiti engaging the problem of the coexistence of the drawing in a domestic space; the traditional drawing, reveals trough the fluidity of movement of the line, the abstract detailing and imageries that are usually hidden by the limited size of the support of the paper sheet.
