June 27, 2007 | | Jaime Pitarch |
The work of Spanish artist Jaime Pitarch uses photography, video, sculpture, drawing and installation. The artist often focuses his attention on the altercation of everyday objects such as guitars, tables, glasses and hardware, which render the original function of the object useless. Pitarch's work is steeped in parody and humor and challenges the viewer's perception of items that are constantly used, though rarely considered. Pitarch's works are humble, yet are consistently presented with fierce craftsmanship and wit. The artist currently lives and works in Barcelona. He received his degree from Chelsea College of Art and his Master's from the Royal College of Art in London. Pitarch has exhibited internationally with shows at Spencer Brownstone Gallery in New York City, Mjellby Konstmuseum in Halmstad, Sweden, and Galeria Fucares in Madrid. Last year, Pitarch had a solo exhibition curated by Maria de Corral at the ARCO fair in Madrid.
