Fabrizio Contarino, Barcelona based artist. His work is mainly centred on drawing, also expanding to other practices such as photography, illustration and video installation. The use of different materials and techniques – namely paper, pen, ink, silk-screen printing and digital tools – is at the core of his creative production. The artist’s imagination is fed by a wide range of sources from both high and popular culture and his work, often laden with irony and a form of social commentary, focuses on topics related to the transmission or manipulation of information and on memory. He received M.A. degree in Artistic Production and Research and participated in numerous international exhibitions in Spain, Italy, Greece, Colombia and Korea, was a contributor to Rojo magazine from 2002 to 2011, and his work has been published in a number of magazines throughout Europe.
