Fran Conde
Málaga, 1987
Conde graduated from the University of Málaga with a BFA. In Málaga, his end-of-studies project was selected for 8 Grados Sur (Rectorate, University of Málaga, 2015) and participated in the group exhibition Causa o Pretexto (Espacio Iniciarte, Málaga, 2014). In 2016 he did a residency at La Maison de l’Email in Morez, France. His predominantly pictorial oeuvre assumes that the ontology of the medium is only defined through praxis, which is therefore always an unavoidable symbolic cultural representation. In his investigations, he attempts to appropriate the linguistic characteristics of different narrative systems in order to discuss the themes around which his work revolves: the auratic physicality of the cultural/artistic artefact, and the ways in which the contemporary individual dwells in contexts. He currently lives in Nyon, Switzerland.
Actividades
Córdoba. From 15 Dec to 17 Feb 2019
Through the work of José García Vallés, Fran Conde and José María Hevilla, the “picture-object” will run the gamut from seemingly 19th-century positions to others where painting literally steps outside itself.
Málaga. From 11 Dec to 15 Feb 2015
On the basis of a formal heterogeneity and a thematic multiplicity framed in daily life, the artists present a series of pieces whose common point is the conflict between the accuracy of representation as an independent entity and the unbreakable symbolic reference to that referenced.
