Born in Rosario de Santa Fe, Argentina, Fabian Marcaccio addresses the formal issues of classical modern painting and American abstract expressionism through critical and personal lenses. He has devised his own particular painterly form: “paintants” comprise massive curving canvases through which a new artistic paradigm that quotes and critiques numerous twentieth-century painting traditions is sought. He has had solo exhibitions at such venues as BravinLee Programs in New York City, the Museo de Arte Latinoamericano de Buenos Aires, the Miami Art Museum (Florida, USA), and P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center (MoMA) in New York City. He has been part of group exhibitions at such venues as Lehmann Maupin and the Chelsea Art Museum, both in New York City. Marcaccio participated in Documenta 11 in Kassel (Germany). http://paintants.com
