Overview
"Creating an intriguing tension between organic figurative shapes and abstract geometry."
Italian born, Berlin-based artist Fabio La Fauci‘s most recent work focuses on portraits, where each face has been masked by a thick, sculpted layer of ceramic and acrylic modelling paste. The series follows Fabio’s taste for surrealism and abstraction, ambiguity and transformation, and the passage from one form to another form. These works hint at our own disconnectedness in a world saturated with images; our curiosity and need for recognition veiled in an additional level of complexity and frightening disorientation.
Ceramics, an unconventional material for portraits in painting, and acrylic gel emerge from oil to continue the movement and the tensions. The juxtaposition of colours and materials are the result and the origin of Fabio’s aesthetic research that is, at the same time, demand and pleasure, dynamism and balance.
