Summary
For this exhibition, Fernando Sicco (b.1961, Montevideo) develops a project that he conceives as inseparable from its context. The work is created from an idea and its place, in this case the Blanes Museum and some works by this Uruguayan artist. Sicco starts from a detail of everyday life such as the lint that we remove from woolen garments and in successive scales defines pieces expressed in different media: paper, fabric and clothing. The designs that arise from the change of scale, from the visualization of this enlarged fluff, are transformed into expressive compositional images in themselves. The original fiber is transformed into raw material of the composition. The large canvases located in the exhibition space are conceived by the artist from two-dimensional matrices that record different parameters of color and composition. These pieces of fluff are arranged on the plane as if they were cells distributed in rows and columns, shaping an ordered geometric matrix, unlike its original internal structure.
