Elogi a la forma

Painting exhibition at the Museu del Càntir in Argentona featuring geometric compositions by Fernando Daza, based on the balance between opposites, inverses and complementaries.

The exhibition Elogi a la forma brings together geometric compositions by Fernando Daza, a visual artist born in Seville who works between painting and object. His forms make no allusion to any figurative reference: they are structures centred on space, presented as units, either as single pieces or as a diptych in two formats.

The whole revolves around the compensation and balance of opposing, inverse and complementary elements. White surfaces appear alongside black, juxtaposed complementary colours and identical or inverted structures set against each other. Daza's career includes a line of work on paper structures and processes of cutting and tearing applied to surfaces and textile supports, with a degree in Fine Arts from the University of Seville and printmaking studies at the University of Athens.

The Museu del Càntir hosts the show in Argentona, in a space devoted to exhibitions and cultural activities. His work has been shown in Madrid, Barcelona, Lisbon, Paris, Seoul and Connecticut, and at fairs such as Estampa, Justmad or Art Madrid. The visit is conceived as a tour of the works, a language reduced to the essential in which form, colour and space engage in dialogue with one another.
