Period of residence in Piramidón:

Work: The work of Paco García Barcos is an invitation to the world of the grotesque and the absurd. His work is arranged through collage and the interventions of both old and new objects from diverse places. The Fran Doutedetoute Impossible Store, one of the highlights of the artist, is a work in progress that Garcia Barcos is constantly changing and expanding. This work consists of an orderly accumulation of dolls, puppets, games, taxidermy, electrical toys, stories, and boxes.

Period of residence in Piramidón:

August 2005 - April 2012.

Work: The landscape of Alicia Ibarra arises from an abstract experience, and approaches, little by little, the limits of figurative representation. This ambiguity makes it more disturbing and evocative. Ibarra wants to involve the viewers, suggesting a path through the quiet and detailed observation of the work, in order to be able to carry them much farther into their memory and to open new doors unto them.

Madrid, 1974.

Period of residence in Piramidón:

Since January 2000.

Work: Miguel Ángel Pascual’s painting moves between the iconic postmodern and the traditional baroque technique. Its narrative strategy consists in comparing images taken from a variety of sources to generate new meanings. These images, located in spaces called "not places" such as airports or train stations, are spaces of transit that work like iconographic containers whereby inserting different motives, they generates new discourses. His form of applying the paint is analytical, reproducing pixels and graphic effects and data-imaging mixed with gestural painting.

Barcelona, 1956.

Period of residence in Piramidón:

Since January 1992.

Work: With a tendency toward repetition as the impetus of his works in series, Carles Gabarro is characterized by his creation of raw works, both fleshy and expressionist. The repeated motifs respond to an interest in learning about something that one can get to through the dedication of one’s life to it.

The painting, superimposed in thick layers, fills the whole of the canvas and finds pleasure in brutality, drips and accidents. The artist works quickly, favoring this leakage and its immediacy, recognizable throughout his entire body of work.

San Juan, Argentina, 1959.

Period of residence in Piramidón:

Since February 1993.

Work: With photography as his current vehicle, the artist is interested in the historical and evolutionary aspect of photographic practice. The bringing together of hundreds of pictures from various corresponding countries at different moments in the life of anonymous people serves to nurture his own work based on study, analysis and understanding. He pursues the memory, the passage of time, and the fleeting nature of existence. The artist records aspects of everyday life and develops his analog works in a dark room. He then scans the results to convert them into digital files that are easy to consult. The result is converted to an everyday inventory that plays with both the unexpected and the more complex work.

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.

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.

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.

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.
