MOVART presents a new exhibition by Spanish artist Fernando de Ana. In ‘Piel de Aguja’, Fernando de Ana illustrates the metamorphosis from a rational geometry to a human carnality to delve into the experiences that relate to the periphery of consciousness and are rooted in the body: the impulses, the desires, the exploration of sexuality and of the barrier between pleasure and pain. Furthermore, he signals that skin is an experiential map and a flag for social readings on identity and status, where skin piercing is connected to ritual in a cross-cultural perspective.__________________________________________________________________________________________ABOUT THE ARTISTBorn in Talavera de la Reina (Spain), 1970 | Based in MadridFernando de Ana is best known for his abstract geometric creations that are crafted using the complex technique of resin and complemented with elements of neon and iridescence. His work can best be described as an overlap between painting, sculpture, and collage, and the materials selected are the foundation for his work.He follows minimalist practices, and carefully arranges the overlapping features of his work to evoke themes of interaction, creating a dialogue between both the viewer and the work, and the viewer and their environment.He originally graduated with a degree in Fine Arts and initially focused on graphic design in the Netherlands, but more recently decided to return to Spain and focus on his artistic career. Since then, he has captured the attention of a variety of collectors, foreign galleries, and media, solidifying his place in the contemporary art world. Thus, he has exhibited in galleries in New York, Miami and Los Angeles and has participated in art fairs such as Tokyo Gendai, Art Taipei or Westbound in Shanghai.His work is also displayed in a variety of private collections including but not limited to: Louis Vuitton, Santander Central Hispanic Bank, Casino of Madrid, Colonial Collection, Hines Collection, and Watson, Farley and Williams Collection.
