Rafa Macarrón
2 collaborations
Rafa Macarrón paints abstract figures in daily acts of tender comedy. A former physiotherapist, he uses his anatomical knowledge to create exaggerated body shapes. Their giant, cubist hands and feet disrupt perspective and float in unstructured space. Some paintings show stark singular portraits. Others show colourful crowded panoramas – with figures congregating at bus stops or beaches. Macarrón’s process is led by intuition and experimentation with a range of materials. Acrylic, gouache and oils are the main base. Pencils and markers define figures. Aerosol sprays, aluminium and PVC bring texture and dynamism. The artist also translates his biomorpic personalities into drawing and sculpture.
