JAUME PITARCH (Barcelona, 1963). "Entropía de Jackson".2009. Mixed media (collage on cardboard". Provenance: Gallery dels Àngels of Barcelona. Measurements: 77 x 107 cm. This piece was part of an exhibition of the same name by Jaume Pitarch at the Àngels Barcelona gallery, in which the theme of time was treated from a new perspective both as a concept and as a plastic development. As the press release read: "Pitarch transforms mundane objects and work rituals into instruments for critical reflection. Frequently, his work consists of obstinate actions that lead to apparently absurd, unproductive, invisible or unimaginable results. This absurdity is not, however, self-indulgent: it questions the identity, socializing, and behavioral relations between man and his material production. For Pitarch, this is simply the consequence of the angst of a man lost in a web of constantly mutating social structures to which he derives all his energy in a failed attempt to belong, "to insert himself into them". The theme of time (time as that which constantly leaves us out of the game) is therefore a constant in his work. A Virilian time that is sometimes alluded to, stopped or converted into an invisible ally called process". Currently 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.

ACHILLE BATTISTUZZI (Trieste - Barcelona, 1891). "View of Barcelona".1878. Oil on canvas. Signed, dated and located in the lower right corner. Attached to the back a label of Ramoneda & Barrachina. Measurements: 90 x 131 cm; 110 x 151 cm (frame). Achile Battistuzzi was an Italian painter who lived in Barcelona for most of his life, giving the Catalan capital magnificent port and urban views. In the painting shown here, Battistuzzi's mastery of working the space in a scenographic manner is evident, naturally superimposing the mountainous landscape (the Montjuïc area) and the port of Barcelona, which can be glimpsed in the background, criss-crossed with boats. The Reales Atarazanas (Royal Shipyards) divide the seafront and the margins of the city. In this panoramic view, the artist displays his skills as a veduttist and his bold use of light. The rural area with its peasants and the port area with its fishing boats form two parallel realities. Achille Battistuzzi settled in Barcelona around 1866. He specialised in landscape paintings with urban scenes. He was one of those who introduced Venetian Vedutism to Catalonia, following the influences of Canaletto and Guardi. His work "El pla de la Boqueria" is in the collection of the Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya. Painted around 1873, the work was exhibited at the Universal Exhibition in Barcelona in 1888. The Barcelona History Museum has nine works by the artist, and the Historical Archive of the City of Barcelona holds two oil paintings, two watercolours, two drawings and two engravings. The Maritime Museum of Barcelona holds the canvas entitled "Vista de las Reales Atarazanas de Barcelona y de la Montaña de Montjuïc" (View of the Royal Shipyards of Barcelona and Montjuïc Mountain).

Painter and draftsman, Francesc García Vilella enters the School of Sant Jordi in Barcelona, although he will soon abandon his studies. After a period dedicated to cartoons, he began his pictorial work, holding his first individual exhibition in 1945, at the Sala Rovira in Barcelona. During these years he was also a contributor to the last issue of the magazine "Dau al Set". He participated in the October Salons of 1948, 1949, 1955 and 1957, held in the Layetanas Galleries of Barcelona, and also took part in the Hispano-American Biennial. In 1950 he exhibited in Mallorca as part of the group Cobalto 49, but he slowly abandoned the exhibition activity in our country and increased his presence abroad. Thus, he held exhibitions in Vienna (1957, 1983), Venice (1960), Paris (1965, 1979), Düsseldorf (1970), Mannheim (1973, 1978), Perugia (1974), Munich (1984), etc. His work is present in various public and private collections.
