Fabian Marcaccio (Born 1963 Rosario, Argentina) is an
Argentine-Italian born artist living and working in the United States
whose trans-genre works including "Paintants" and '"Draftants" have
been exhibited worldwide.
Marcaccio was born to a native Argentine mother and Italian father in
Rosario de Santa Fe where he later attended the University of
Philosophy. In 1985, at age 22, he moved to New York City, where he
continues to live and work. He has exhibited widely throughout
theUnited States, Europe and South America. In 2004, Kunstmuseum
Liechtenstein organized a retrospective of his work, the same year
that a solo exhibition was mounted at the Miami Art Museum. He
regularly exhibits with galleries in New York, Los Angeles, Berlin,
Paris, Cologne and Barcelona. He has participated in numerous group
exhibitions, including; the 44th Biennial Exhibition of Contemporary
American Painting, Corcoran Gallery of Art, Washington, DC in 1995,
Summer Projects at PS1 Contemporary Art Center, New York in 2002, and
Documenta 11, Kassel, Germany in 2002. His multidisciplinary
collaborations include projects with the architect Greg Lynn that
resulted in an exhibition at the Wexner Center for the Arts, Columbus,
Ohio in 2001 and projects with composer Claudio Baroni creating
animated operas and a 2005 scored, paintball performance at Weston
Hall in Toronto, Canada.
Marcaccio’s work investigates whether the traditional medium of
painting can survive in the digital age. He has used printmaking
transfer techniques to make paintings and became well known in the
1990s for his manipulations of the conventions of painting. More
recently, he has relied upon digital and industrial techniques to
infuse his painting process with spatial and temporal concerns. The
results are environmental paintings, animations, and “Paintants” that
combine digitally manipulated imagery, sculptural form, and three
dimensionally painted surfaces.
On September 10, 2011 Marcaccio received the "Bernhard Heiliger Award
for Sculpture 2011" from the Mayor of Berlin, Klaus Wowereit.
Bernhard Heiliger Award for Sculpture.
