Fabio Miguez

In 2010, artist Fabio Miguez began to work in the series of paintings of small format "Atalhos" (shortcuts). This series, and the title of this publication, already adds more than two hundred works and condenses, in an enticing way, the recent production of Miguez. The small dimensions account for an almost daily practice of painting, unoccupied by the time commitments of the large format paintings that the artist continues to produce. He isolates certain elements of his work, creating small units of language that are singularized in each painting - and then repeated in subseries in formal and chromatic variations. There is also a certain amount of experimentation on the surface, almost as if they were a showcase of techniques tamed over the years. Many of these paintings are directly related to the history of art; cut and echo parts of paintings by Piero della Francesca, Alfredo Volpi and Henri Matisse, not exactly as quotations, but as humorous comments about their sources. Others refer to the casual pictorial situations found in architectural elements, such as the facades of houses (reverberating the artists mentioned above), rejoined stones, brick walls.
