FABIAN MARCACCIO (BORN 1963 IN ROSARIO, ARGENTINA)
Fabian Marcaccio was born in Rosario in Argentina in 1963. His work poses the question of whether traditional painting traditions can survive the digital age. In order to investigate this he uses printmaking transfer techniques to make his pieces, while manipulating generally held conven-tions of painting. This cutting-edge style has afforded him international acclaim since the 1990s. More recently he has relied upon digital and industrial techniques such as 3D-printing to infuse his painting process with spatial and temporal concerns. The results are enviromental paint-ings, animations and “paintants” that combine digitally manipulated imagery, sculptural form and three-dimensionally painted surfaces. Fa-bian Marcaccio was awarded the Bernhard Heiliger Award for Sculpture in 2011. He has made a name for himself through numerous internation-al solo exhibitions including Makasiini Contemporary Contemporary, Turku (2017), Casa Daros Rio de Jainero (2014), Centro Atlántico de Art Moderno, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (2013), Museum Lehmbruck (2012), Museum Haus Esters, Krefeld (2012), Georg-Kolbe Museum, Berlin (2011), FRAC, Auvergne Clermont-Ferrand (2005), Museo de Arte Latinoamericano de Buenos Aires (2005), DA2 Domus Artium 2002, Salamca (2005), Kunstmuseum Liechenstein (2004), Miami Art Museum (2004), Kölnischer Kunstverein and Württenbergischen Kunstverein (2000).
