Five

“Five Unfinished Platonic Love Encounters” (2022) is the new collection of works by Nacho Frades inspired by the unique feeling of remembering when you met someone special in the past. All five works feature two chairs placed in empty, colourful settings reminiscent of hot, gleeful nights you may have spent in the Summer. The chairs are painted as if they were remains, evidence of encounters between two people we cannot see. The open window casts a bright, vibrant light that makes the chairs and the table look liquid, as if they can be carried out of the picture by an invisible water stream.
