Macovack

Biography

b. 1981, Bucharest. Based in Barcelona.

Macovack makes esoteric, metaphysical art at monumental scale. His signature practice involves creating enormous rubbings on tracing paper laid directly on existing floors: apartment tiles in Barcelona, marble at the Amphitheater of Pompeii, stone in Lisbon and Porto.

His Nebula series uses fluorescent paint that, when charged with UV light, reveals a night sky of stars across dark surfaces.
