STATEMENT

The relationship between man and nature plays an essential role in the artist's work. The topic enables him to raise ecological questions where the viewer should reflect his impact on the planet. With the depiction of intertwined figures in an abstract and unique way, the artist addresses issues such as sex, love, war, passion, trust and envy. The artist sees importance in imperfection, which is apparent in his painting style: surfaces remain unpainted, preliminary drawings remain visible underneath or on top of the layers of oilpaint.

Cesc Abad has had recent solo shows at Galerie Mayoral in Paris, Yes Dot Baby in Essen, Simchowitz Gallery in Los Angeles, Caelis Gallery in Shanghai and the Curator’s Room in Amsterdam.
