About this artwork
This is a research project focused specifically on the human body using drawing and painting. Mariscus develops both the technical, thematic and formal research, as well as the conception and resolution -show to show- of the exhibition.
The first line of action refers to the drawing of the human figure. This is the main and total corpus of the project: the anatomical and physical study of the impact, contact, friction or any other force that intervenes… between human bodies.
In these works Mariscus treats the human body as a malleable material, which has the ability to merge and mold itself with another body in an attempt at symbiosis. He always tries to stop the moment of impact when bodies almost repel each other: the closer we get, the more we repel each other, and it is this defective symbiosis that conditions current sociability, based on corporeal solitude but within a virtual company structure.

« I've always been fascinated by the personal treatment that each artist gives to the human body. »
Javier Mariscus’s fascination with the representation of human bodies and postures was born during a trip to Florence at age 14, where he was captivated by Michelangelo’s Battle of Centaurs sculpture. Inspired by Cubism, his drawings and paintings form striking expressions of limbs, torsos, feet...bodies in movement.
