Francisco Ratti was born in Rio Negro in 1986, where he spent his early years before moving to La Plata, where he currently lives and works.
“The series of post-digital paintings first emerges as a drawing made with a finger on a cellphone screen, then transferred to canvas on a larger scale. The imitation of digital resources addresses the idea of surfaces and forms of representation, highlighting the recovery of the freshness of the gesture. The painting has no other purpose than to be made, with the intention that form and action advance over thought. In the transition from digital to analog, there is a backward movement to recover something. How do we look at a painting and how do we look at a screen?” - Francisco Ratti
