Marco Abrate

Born in 1996, Marco Abrate (artist name: Rebor) is an internationally active visual artist. His practice unfolds between sculptural painting, installation, and digital languages. The core of his research is  pareidolia: a perceptual and imaginative process through which he unveils presences and forms within matter. The wall as a surface that reveals hidden images.

Through this visual device, Abrate explores in depth themes such as love, mourning, loss, transformation, and the tension between presence and absence. Pareidolia, combined with fragile surfaces and crumbling plaster, becomes for the artist a tool of resistance against the rigidity of the image in the digital age. His work has been examined by art critic Giorgio Bonomi, who wrote the curatorial text for his first solo exhibition in Milan in 2020.
