Ñaco Fabré (Palma, 1965) arrives at the Espai Cor of Palma City Council with a new proposal that focuses on formal simplicity and visual strength. The Mallorcan artist brings together a set of works never shown before, where the drawing is clean and the color is precise.
The result is pieces that, without great artifice, transmit a feeling of harmony and pause. Among these, Construction on the Horizon stands out, a work that Fabré incorporates as a clear gesture in favor of painting as a form of living thought. This inclusion is not only a bridge with the past, but also a way of situating his practice within the debates that cross the contemporary world. In the artist's own words: "reflection on time and space, background and form, figure and landscape, leads to immensity. A place / non-place, where it is possible to establish the relationship between infinity and the precise drawing that delimits the appearance of forms. From poetic thought, it is possible to encompass the entirety of distance and, at the same time, assimilate the reality of the moment: a narrative that sustains the circumstance of all existence."
Ñaco Fabré has maintained a constant presence on the artistic scene for more than three decades. His career includes exhibitions in the Balearic Islands, Catalonia, Madrid and also in cities such as Berlin, London, Paris or Brussels. Some of his most outstanding appointments have been the retrospective at Casal Solleric in 2012, the exhibition Univers de paper at the Fundació Sa Nostra in 2019 or Donar a veure, presented at the Col·legi d'Arquitectes. His work has traveled with the ISLEART project, being exhibited in European capitals such as Rome and Berlin. His works are part of collections such as those of the “la Caixa” Foundation, Es Baluard, the Fundació Sa Nostra or the Museum of Contemporary Art of Pamplona. Although his work has often been linked to geometric abstraction, the interest in the relationship between painting and nature is constant, always from a calm and meditative approach.
