Platonic

“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 arrangements of the chairs let us imagine the conversations and postures of the people who used and then abandoned them. The table’s presence provides more information about the placement of the chairs in an otherwise completely neutral space. The shadows casted by an unseen source of light is the only clue about the environment surrounding the chairs and the table.
