Bulbous, biomorphic sculptures in lavender, tangerine, and blush pink rove throughout the airy in Berlin. The largest solo exhibition to date of Barcelona-born artist , Devouring Lovers brings massive, bulging works to the industrial hall, juxtaposing the cold iron structures with soft, pudgy forms. Inviting in color and grotesque in shape, the organic, monstrous sculptures appear alive, as if they could grow and swallow up the remaining space, viewers and all.
In , Fàbregas shares that the interactions between space and the body continually inform her thinking and how she conceptualizes a piece. “It’s about the architecture. It’s about those masses that you put inside the architecture. It’s about the humans moving around the architecture,” she says. “For me, my sculptures are not just themselves, it’s all the things that happen in the same space that affect that installation.”
Devouring Lovers is on view through January 14, 2024. You can find more from Fàbregas on .
