Drawings by José Antonio Fernández

The exhibition titled "Drawings by José Antonio Fernández," is a personal inquiry by Fernández into the pentagonal shape of vegetables, in which he synthesizes and segments those forms through the drawing medium, until transforming them into segments from organic forms. This exhibition includes a series of drawings that showcases an exercise on the synthesis of those forms, something which Fernández calls Pentagonals, a project based on the investigation of the cactus skin. From these inquiries, Fernández explores the expanded drawing, in which repetitive forms are transformed into abstract images. The drawing technique, as well as the format used, are important elements in the mounting of Fernández's work; charcoal, graphite, and the rectangle of his supports generate a feeling of volume and depth that gives form, textures and materials their protagonic roles. The exhibition "Drawings by José Antonio Fernández" was curated by Susana Benko. The show will remain open to the public until April 30 at La Caja del Centro Cultural de Chacao (CCCH) in Caracas, Venezuela.
