Carles Gabarró. The fragility of painting in the fast food era - Fundació Vila Casas. Can FramisExhibitions
02/04/2025 - 06/01/2025

For four decades, Carles Gabarró (Barcelona, 1956) has been experimenting with the repetition of objects and themes in an almost obsessive way through matter painting. Gabarró has created his own iconography characterized by the multiform transformation of the same objects. In this way, the artist creates a journey that never seems to materialize. Masterfully navigating between figuration and abstraction, Carles Gabarró explores what is always the same and what is constantly changing. Now the Can Framis is presenting the exhibition La fragilidad de la pintura en la época del fast food (The fragility of painting in the fast food era), which takes us through the different stages of his creative work. The exhibition is divided into four thematic areas: Magma (1995-1996), Libraries (2006-2024), Factories (2009-2015) and Beds (2013-2024), and in it we can contrast pieces created in the 1980s with other more recent works so that we can enjoy Carles Gabarró's peculiar way of handling painting.
