Bulbous, biomorphic sculptures in lavender, tangerine, and blush pink roam throughout the airy Hamburg train station in Berlin. The largest solo exhibition to date of the Barcelona born artist Eva Fabregas, Devouring Lovers he brings massive and swollen works into the industrial warehouse, juxtaposing the cold iron structures with soft and squat shapes. Inviting in color and grotesque in form, the organic and monstrous sculptures appear alive, as if they could grow and engulf the remaining space, spectators and all.

In a recent interview, Fàbregas shares that the interactions between space and body continuously inform his thinking and the way he conceptualizes a piece. “It’s about the architecture. It’s about those masses that you put inside the architecture. It’s about human beings moving around architecture,” he says. « For me, my sculptures aren’t just themselves, it’s all the things happening in the same space that influence that installation. »

Devouring Lovers is on display until January 14, 2024. You can find more from Fàbregas at Instagram.
