Ñaco
FABRE
Ñaco Fabre (Palma de Mallorca, 1965) began his training at the Escuela de Artes y Oficios Artisticos de Palma, which he later continued with painters Juan José Deudero and Ellis Jacobson and trips to London, Venice and Paris.
Oil, graphite, charcoal and vinyl are the materials with which he brings to life the balance found between geometric forms and subtle gesture, through planes of color and graphics, reflecting his lyrical vision of landscape and nature.
The seduction of geometry
Without us always being aware of it, the presence of regular or irregular geometric shapes (lines, planes, points, figures, angles, polygons…) is a constant in our panorama. They create visual compositions in the immediate space we inhabit. Ever since man was seduced by the idyllic horizon, there has been a natural attraction to the geometric. The artist has integrated the presence of geometry into her language – from the choice of format or size of her works to the appearance of figures in her compositions.
As a result, his influence is perceptible throughout the ages, from the time of Egyptian or Aztec cultures to today’s abstraction, in its more austere plastic language.
Why does the vertical invite reasoning and the horizontal passion? Why do angles project infinity, while circles and squares bring it together? Isn’t it geometry – along with light – that orders the space we inhabit, and therefore the time we live in?
There’s also a poetics of space that derives from and focuses on geometry and is inseparable from the aesthetic reasoning applied to creation, where beauty manifests itself in multiple presences, from which the seduction of geometry is present in our lives resulting in continuous visual pleasure.
