Description

In Márquez's work, we observe a new openness to nature and landscape. Although a study of his paintings from the early 1980s to the present would reveal a predilection for undefined and often nebulous enclosed spaces (sometimes causing a certain sense of claustrophobia in the viewer), his most recent images have literally opened up to nature, where landscapes with both nocturnal and diurnal views predominate. Márquez is not an artist whose work has witnessed many periods of abrupt change. His art undergoes a gradual maturation. While drawing on past traditions, he carefully calibrates his creativity, breathing new life into traditional forms, constantly generating a distinctive visual vocabulary that matures with each new creation.

Constantly moving between the two- and three-dimensional worlds, Canova's painting reveals a profound preoccupation with space and time, themes that remain central to his work despite his radical shifts in style and media at the beginning of each new series. There is also a persistent struggle between flatness and volume, a tension that is almost programmatic in his production. His obsessive interest in transcending two dimensions is reflected on two distinct levels. On the one hand, from his early paintings depicting cell-like constructions to his recent works juxtaposing geometric structures and receptacle-like figures, perspective is fundamental. On the other hand, this desire of the artist to suggest an illusion of depth is echoed and enhanced by operations performed outside the frame. These consist of a series of dialogic interplays (sometimes including installations) between the painted image and something external to it: stretchers resting on stretchers, pieces of wood leaning against the canvas, shelves resting on the canvas, metal frames and extensions—all of which extend the image into space.
