An artist based in Barcelona, Jaume Pitarch studied Fine Arts at the Chelsea College of Art and the Royal College of Art in London. His language is based on the decontextualization of man-made elements, which he dismantles and reconstructs in a completely different way, stripping them of their original meaning and value. Throughout his career as an artist, Jaume Pitarch has held numerous exhibitions nationally and internationally, highlighting: Àngels Barcelona (2013, 2009, 2004,1997); Galería Fúcares, Madrid (2013, 2008); Spencer Brownstone Gallery, New York (2013, 2009, 2006) or in Galerija Vartai, Lithuania, 2011. Likewise, his work has been selected for group exhibitions in international galleries and institutions. His work is part of public and private collections such as the MACBA collection, the Vila Casas Foundation, the La Caixa collection, Artium, the Bergé collection, the Patio Herreriano Museum or the collection of the Royal College of Art in London, among others.
