Pedro Oliver

Palma de Mallorca, 1968.

Periodo de residencia en Piramidón: Febrero de 2002 - Junio de 2005 / Enero - Abril de 2013. 

Obra: Combinando pintura, escultura, animación y fotografía, Pedro Oliver imagina, critica y hace poesía con su obra. Mediante la creación y repetición de imágenes propias el artista crea su propio lenguaje para expresar su repulsión hacia el mundo actual. 

Su estética se acerca al universo del grafiti. Los negros, blancos, rojos, verdes y ocres se repiten paulatinamente, formando figuras y símbolos que nos recuerdan a la poesía visual más que a la pintura tradicional. 

De indiscutible contemporaneidad, Pedro Oliver lleva al límite las posibilidades del lenguaje pictórico con sus constantes iconos que se esconden para volver a aparecer nuevamente, incansablemente.

José Ramón Bas

 

Madrid, 1964.

Period of residence in Piramidón:

Since 1998.

Work: Having started as self-taught in the world of photography, Bas, since his commencement, has been interested in the new forms of expression and the memory of travel. Traveller, photographer and artist; his work comes from a combination of these three terms. His photographs are based on a deep respect for the photographed; children who live far from the materialistic world. These snapshots are combined with collage and writing; complemented by, and coming to a complete and clear speech directed toward the viewer.

Esteve Casanoves

Oristà, Osona, 1954.

Period of residence in Piramidón:

June 1994 - July 2013

Work: Esteve Casanoves manifests himself through sculpture, painting, photography, video and installations with the intention to communicate with the viewer directly, without stammering. The artist investigates the environment of the intersections that occur between the different elements; the construction and deconstruction, movement and stillness. Poetry is breathed in his works that prove both strong and secure. His art is one that is both rhythmic and poetic, that far from figurative representation, becomes the mid-point between delirium and reason.
The artist investigates with materials, textures, spaces, and lights. His work appears to be a labyrinth, with trails and junctions that confuse the viewer with the aim of making one question his own path.

Latest exhibitions:
- Suspended time, Antonio Pérez Foundation, Cuenca, 2012.

David Bestué

Barcelona, 1980.

Period of residence in Piramidón:

December 2011 - February 2012.

Work: Author of the publications History of foam (2008), Enric Miralles on the left and the right (also without glasses) (2010) and Pure Formalism (2011), Bestué is situated on the summit of the contemporary art scene. After having been the 50% of the couple Bestué and Vives, the artist explores around the communicative strategies, seeking to go beyond that which is written.
Using different forms of expression, he looks for new ways to represent reality and explain things. As such, he uses uninhibited, ironic, and humorous language that allows direct communication with the viewer.

Latest exhibitions:

- Stones and poets, Estany de la Mota Gallery, Barcelona, 2013.
- Actions in the Universe (Bestué I Vives). Caixaforum, Barcelona, 2012.
- Difficult orders (Bestué i Vives). Galerie Crèvecoeur, Paris, 2011.
