Press Release

Galeria Marilia Razuk is pleased to present, from July 27th, Fabricio Lopez’ exhibition: Yamatãma – o antitrauma [Yamatãma - the anti-trauma]. Including five large wood engravings, two painted matrices and a series of drawings in India ink on acetate.

The title, Yamatãma, coined by the artist’s daughter is an evocation of a cure, a prophetic and mysterious word with specific powers. It was appropriated from her drawings and used for the sonority it evokes, naming a series of unprecedented works.

In this, Lopez’ second solo show at the gallery, he recreates fragments of landscapes, the fruit of personal situations experienced over the past three years. His current production reveals a growing interest in the pictorial character of the images produced through wood engravings where the printed paper and the matrix unfolded into autonomous and unique pieces.

By exploring the repertoire of matrices in various prints, faced with a usage that is almost indiscriminate from the color, the engraved wood acquires a sense of its own, determining a depletion of its function and coming to serve as a new plane for a possible painting. It joins color and the actual drawing engraved on the surface of the material, uniting left-overs of prints in direct paint applied with the rubber roller.

Meanwhile,the printed images arise without a pre-determined printing schedule, turning the ordering of the various items of information coming from the matrices into a laborious process: from the drawing, the transfer to the wood, the engraving and then the printing. The color acts as a narrative element that links together the planes.

From his way of working, allying large scale to the extended gesture of woodcutting, Lopez imbues xylography – one of the oldest artistic languages - with a new perspective.
