Fernando Vicente
The painting is always present in the study, begin with an idea and
developed when hang up the work, which in some cases, the time
may be 2 or 3 years.
My exhibitions are thematic and they reflect
all my obsessions. All paintings are connected.
When I paint I like to do on printed materials, is a way to unite my
passion for topics such as anatomy, mechanics and my hobby for
collecting posters, maps, atlas geographic and geographical
anatomy with my work. I've been to have this material in the flea
market of Madrid (called “Rastro”), in shops and antique fairs and
even my first exhibition were paintings on advertising posters,
which are on the bus shelters and posters that advertise concerts,
many of these posters, some them are torn off the wall of the
street, they spend some time in the study before even thinking
about using them as support for a painting. Once I bought a
collection of posters from mechanical and they accompanied me a
few years before becoming tables, is my “Anatomies” series, I try
to turn the posters to find the shape of the human figure, creating
a kind of robotic, cyborgs or forms, I am always interested by
cyberpunk culture and the human body.
“Vanitas” series collect my last exhibition and is the material that
I'm still working, the human body without subterfuge, outside and
inside, its fragility, is the mirror to look in that we realize how
fragile we are, and what we think, we all have the same viscera,
arteries and muscles.
Inside the human body is a tremendous beauty, I am captured by
it, it took years for selection of medical books and anatomical
atlas, and this series attempts to reflect its beauty, and fragile.
Place the bare interior, looking for the human soul. If someone
gives you his heart is really what gives you that and nothing else,
the total delivery. If it shows you, is really showing how it is.
For a long time inside the human body has been postponed for the
exclusive use of medicine and science, it is time to claim it for our
contemplation.
The Vanitas is a recurring theme in the history of painting (vanitas
vanitatis, omnia vanitas) intended to convey the futility of worldly
pleasures compared to the certainty of death, usually represented
by a skull surrounded by wealth, reminds us that the skeleton our
time here is finite and therefore it is useless to accumulate wealth.
Vanitas I try to represent this new vanity of fashion and glamour,
so many main character of the paintings are like mock covers of
fashion magazines, Vanity Fair et omnia vanitas.
