PABLO GENOVÉSRECENT PHOTOGRAPHS
Pablo Genovés, (b. 1959, Madrid) has placed his personal stamp on contemporary Spanish photography. His work employs a combination of digital photography techniques and appropriated old images to create unusual and unexpected outcomes, leading the viewer to question the relationship between man and nature.
The photographs in his two series Precipitados (Precipitates) from 2008-2011, and Cronología del Ruido (Chronology of Noise) from 2011-2012, feature emblematic Western cultural spaces where civilization and nature confront each other and fight for the appropriation of literal space. The landmarks he features are actually fictional; he combines aspects of different structures to elicit the strongest sense of what the viewer expects in a palace, church, or library. But these typical spaces are seen in a state of active destruction, as manufactured by the artist. The black and white photographs in the series Precipitados show these spaces inundated with natural elements such as water, ice, and sand. In Cronología del Ruido, industrial machinery is also incorporated as a source of physical ruin and as the visual evidence of the remains of a flood. The photographs can be read as an inquiry into signs of memory, with symbols of both a collective aesthetic past, and his own recent explorations as an artist. His work is therefore the result of a continuous process of artistic redefinition.
Born in Madrid, Genovés has studied at the Art Students League in New York, the Círculo de Bellas Artes in Madrid, and the Camden Arts Center in London. The artist currently lives and works in Madrid and Berlin.
The work of Pablo Genovés has been exhibited both in Spain, and abroad, including France, Germany, England, Colombia, Chile, Brazil, Philippines, Korea, Saudi Arabia and the United States. His photographs are part of public and private collections worldwide.
