Fernando García Correa and Mario Palacios Kaim in the London Original Print Fair.

     The London Original Print Fair, at the Royal Academy of Arts, offers the opportunity to appreciate and purchase works from all periods of the printmaking: from the first recordings of the Renaissance painter and German theorist, Albrecht Dürer, until the most recent creations of contemporary masters, always in an intimate and pleasant atmosphere for collectors and art enthusiasts.

     The event allows visitors to enter a world immersed in art and culture, a world that is somehow unknown, as per commonly those prints and engravings are not displayed in public galleries or museums, with the exception of special exhibitions.

     In this its 32nd edition, the London Original Fair presents the participation of two Mexican artists: Fernando García Correa and Mario Palacios Kaim.

     Mario Palacios Kaim (Mexico City; 1953) He is a self-taught artist, whose work encompasses painting, drawing, printmaking, assemblage, installations, and performance art.

     An essential part of his artistic practice is born from the experimentation and the persistent pursuit of new possibilities and capacities of diverse materials, techniques and languages.

     With a career spanning more than forty years, he has had thirteen solo exhibitions and has participated in more than thirty collective displays, and his work forms part of both private and public collections in Mexico and other countries.. For the Fair he presents the series BOOM speaks to us of origin, lapse, and rhythm as active elements. Explosions or expansions of matter in interaction with their surroundings, whether maritime or celestial, allow us to read physical qualities such as density and weight in the occupation of space.

     Fernando García Correa (Mexico City; 1958) studied at the National School of Painting and Sculpture La Esmeralda and at the prestigious San Carlos Academy in Mexico City, to subsequently pursue a drawing career at the National Superior School of Fine Arts in Paris, France.

     García Correa has worked for more than 30 years promoting the causes of abstract painting and he has tenaciously built a body of work that explores the fields of post-minimalism painting. Fernando’s work has contributed greatly in creating a link between the Mexican abstract art and the international abstract scene.

     Since 1986, Fernando García Correa has held 30 solo exhibitions in Mexico and abroad, and has participated in collective exhibitions in Mexico, Colombia, the United States, France, Spain, Puerto Rico, Cuba, Switzerland and Canada.
