Fabian Marcaccio

Fabian Marcaccio was born in Argentina in 1963 and is now based in New York. He uses modern techniques in an attempt to redefine painting, extending its parameters in time and space. His Paintant Stories is in every way an exceptional work. Over a length of approximately 100 meters the artist unfolds a universal panorama of contemporary existence, with all its contradictions and conflicts. Marcaccio presents the human condition as a network of discontinuities frozen at a single moment in time. Plunged into a series of microcosms and macrocosms, the viewer is simultaneously exposed to infinity and fragmentation, chaos and order, the concrete and the abstract. With our attention constantly being captured by a wide range of allusions and associations, we are unable to grasp this multifaceted work in its entirety.

"My work it is indexical like a photograph but on the other hand literal like a painting, it is flat but hypertextural. It is fast like advertising but slow like an analytical painting. It is gestural like expressionism but structural like constructivism. It looks like chaos but it is totally organized. It takes literal space but it is actually about time. It acts as a multiplicity but it is a continuous entity. It comes from the heterogeneity of collage to a new type of homogeneous media integration. It is liquid like a Japanese scroll but static like a baroque painting. It is abstract but offers narratives..."
