A hammer in one hand and a nail through the other, all is not as it seems for the pink protagonist of D.I.Y by Nicasio Fernandez.

The edition renders the artist’s intriguing creation in a silkscreen print of 33 varying colours – capturing the richness of colour typically used in his oil paintings. Though uncanny, the pink figure is engaged in the everyday act of D.I.Y labour.

“Painting should excite, agitate and entertain.”

Medium

33-colour silkscreen on 320gsm Coventry Rag White paper with varnish highlights.

Nicasio Fernandez2 collaborationsNicasio Fernandez paints cartoon-like figures, both surreal and bizarre. "Painting the emotional exchange in mind while capturing the essence of daily life wrapped in an absurd territory” is the sentiment at the heart of his work. His figures have skin tones of warm magentas, sun yellows, and glowing oranges. Often, they have exaggerated body parts and facial features. In the studio, Fernandez starts by sketching ideas, and testing out different compositions. Then, he mixes rich colours, creating a smooth blend of paint on canvas. There’s a frenetic energy in his paintings, like the Chicago Imagists – a group of artists from the mid-1960s in America. They used bold lines and colours to distort the human body.
