Born in Rosario, Argentina, in 1963, Italian artist Fabian Marcaccio lives and works in New York. His art is characterised by the use of machines in pictorial work. From collagraphy in the early 1990s to 3D printing today, he attempts to create pictorial gestures that are impossible to create manually or mechanically: “This type of expressive use of digital printing provides a renewed terrain for experimentation. A way of internally controlling the flux of painting, of guiding it with extreme precision and attaining a kind of unpaintable painting.” (F. Marcaccio). He has had several solo exhibitions, in particular at the Casa Daros, Rio de Janeiro (2014), the Krefeld Kunstmuseen, Krefeld (2012), the Lehmbruk Museum, Duisburg (2012), and the Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein, Vaduz (2004). His work has been presented in several group exhibitions at the MoMA PS1, New York (2002) and Documenta 11, Kassel (2002). His artworks can be found in the collections of the Whitney Museum of Art, the MOMA, the Blanton Museum of Art, the Miami Museum of Art (MAM), and the Museum für Moderne Kunst (MMK).
