Unfinished

“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. Frades’ painting shows a pocket in time and space where a romantic encounter has been interrupted, maybe because of the two lovers or for external, unknown reasons. The scene, set in a room paved with blue and white tiles, feels intimate, private, as if we shouldn’t be allowed to see it.
