Alexis W. was born in Tabique, El Hierro (Canary Islands) and lives and works between El Hierro, Madrid and Berlin. A great part of his artwork deals with the body, personal relationships and the point of view. The body, the nude, usually his body and his nude have been a pivotal tool in his work, which give the pieces a special meaning, a kind of trademark. The selfportrait is another main subject between the documentary and work in progress. Love, relationships and commitment are also always present in his work, as a way of extending and communicating with the world outside. The anonymous and universal characters that live in his images are part of a personal story telling and are shown physically and emotionally naked.

Carlos Forns Bada nasce a Madrid il 23 marzo 1956.
Risiede a Sevilla sino al 1966. Tra il 1973 e il 1976 frequenta la Facoltà di Architettura di Madrid. Nel 1976 inizia gli studi presso la Facoltà di Belle Arti di Madrid, lasciandola nel 1978. Nel 1981 riceve una borsa di studio dal Ministero della Cultura. Nel 1989 partecipa, su invito della rivista d’Arte Cimal, al CITAC, un incontro di giovani artisti europei, curato da Antonio d’Avossa, durante il quale vive e lavora per un mese insieme a Jean Michel Othoniel, Sthephanus Heidacker e Andrea Nurcis, tra gli altri. Viene poi scelto – con Sigfrido Martín Begué – dalla dita Loewe, in occasione del suo 150° anniversario, per disegnare le vetrine dei suoi negozi. Vive e lavora tra Valencia e Madrid, dipingendo per lunghi periodi di tempo a Roma.
Sin dai suoi esordi si caratterizza per una pittura fortemente plastica, molto vicina alla poetica dei Valori Plastici. Poetica che, successivamente e in tempi recenti, ha assunto una qualità stilistica sempre più personale, nella visionarietà di una flora apparentemente immaginaria, ma sempre desunta dal vero, in cui si va inserendo la solitudine di uomini percorsi da una malinconia appena dissimulata dalla componente accesa, e perciò altamente ironica, del cromatismo. La sua è una ricerca improntata a una forte carica spirituale temperata da una solida concretezza che lo porta a esprimere immagini di grande suggestione evocativa, intrise in una atmosfera avvolgente, senza tempo, grondante di luce, interrotta a tratti da ombreggiature che più che oscurare sembrano intagliare i corpi evidenziandone la plasticità.
Tra i principali esponenti della pittura figurativa in Spagna e in Europa (un suo dipinto del 1989, acquistato da Edy de Wilde per la Fondazione ARCO di Madrid, è stato inserito tra le cento migliori opere spagnole del secolo Ventesimo), ha al suo attivo una ricca e intensa attività espositiva avviata nel 1976.

FISHERS OF MEN (2005-2006)

‘Follow me and I will make you Fishers of Men’
St. Matthew, 4-19

‘Fishers of men’ is an essay which explores the representation of masculinity.
It starts with the figure of the Christian apostles, as an example of the ‘homo virtus’, or man of virtues, confronted to the figure of the ‘bear’, a gay man full of hair as the stereotype of the ‘hipermale’ The idea is to compare the use of iconographical items that are common to the representation and appearance of both groups.
The representation of the 12 apostles in western art has barely changed over centuries: it offers a catalogue of references that are used today in very different contexts. For instance, the beard has represented signs of maturity, stability and confidence. Also God and Christ are almost always depicted with a beard since the Middle Ages. For the bears, though, it has become as well a powerful sex-appeal feature.
It is interesting to focus on the case of St. John the Evangelist. He is the only one who seems not to belong to a compact group where it is difficult to identify single ones. He looks young, feminine and beautiful. He is the exception which makes the rule work. The rest of the apostles will be seen today as a homogeneous group that could be described as a ‘sect’. The appearance warns of a particular attitude to life, (in the case of bears of sexual preference) Just by extrapolating all these elements to a new contemporary phenomena, we find that the bears actually copy (Without knowing? Because of lack of historical references?) all the signs that made the apostles a male group which excludes the rest of men. It is amazing how bears reproduce those appearance signs with incredible accuracy: bearded, hairy, corpulent…Even in the ‘bear language’ we can find examples of the endless subcategories that could be based on a particular apostle. Then, St. John the Baptist would be a so called ‘chaser’ (somebody who fancies big hairy men, but who is not a bear himself); Judas could be a ‘leatherbear’, and so on.
The Project is composed of 12 portraits of ‘bearmodels’ who play the role of a particular apostle. They are based on prints and paintings that were very common in Spain in the 17th century. All of them wear or carry objects or symbols that used to help the believer in order to recognize each of them, according to the traditional representation and iconography. They are also identified with names, not the biblical ones but nicknames that are used today, as they are not saints but ordinary people who ‘play holy’ (St. Matthew is now Matt, St. John is Johnny, St. James is Jim, and so on)


The project is to be exhibited in two collections of six images, with a gap in the centre. Six apostles look to the right, and the other six to the left. The empty space in the centre suggests the presence of Jesus. But he is not there: the master is not there anymore. They are left alone.

I am not interested in provoking, or take a particular theme and do a remake, better still I am interested in how symbols and images make us see endless realities, how they all change or adapt to different codes, how people use them to seduce or abuse or control or to be happy. Some people might see this work as a sacrilege, others a joke, hopefully they would use my images as they would use any other: to seduce or abuse or control or to be happy.
