Since the early 1990’s Fabian Marcaccio has been questioning and expanding the concept of painting with substantial radicalism. The stretcher bar, canvas, color, and brushstroke have become subject to his work in themselves. In a mixture of painting and mutant his works are
labeled paintants.
Marcaccio continues to follow his methods in his newest Environmental Paintnants. Through often extreme interventions with the autonomy of the canvas by cutting up or plastic deformation, the artist radically expands the idea of pictorial representation. Motives are dissected into their single components and layed as if on a chopping block, only to be pieced together again in new, threedimensional forms that play out in complex, fantastical scenarios.
What is represented on his works often functions as a movie-like flow of perpetually fluctuating scenes and images, drawn from all possible media influences in our surroundings. When applied, these elements then appear painted on and estranged with a multitude of painting methods that range from flowing acrylic paints to computer graphics, implementing different materials and formable canvases and large quantities of colored Silicone. The motives are alternately reworked and represented, continuously reproduced and alternated, until they result in an array of interwoven, multilayered pictorial structures. -
