CARLOS MATA (Palma de Mallorca, 1949 - Barcelona, 2008). "Horse S/T", 1997. Cast iron. Unique piece. Attached certificate issued by Margarita Yarmats, last sentimental companion of the sculptor. Signed on the base. Measurements: 33 x 30 x 13,5 cm. The equine theme was predominant in the singular work of Carlos Mata. The basic forms to which this sculpture subsumes (it should be noted that this is a unique work, with no other examples) are rooted in the ancient Mediterranean civilizations, in the cradle of our culture. Iron, in his hands, is endowed with an extemporaneous patina, archaic and avant-garde at the same time. In his sculptures, Mata was always faithful to this reduction of objects to their essence and of silhouettes to pure lines. It is precisely this purity that makes the warmth of the iron texture shine even brighter, competing in prominence with the shape of the piece itself. Mata opted for bronze or iron to reflect the warmth of manual labor, with its arid and irregular, rough surfaces, inviting to touch, and also with its fluid, soft, rounded crevices. Sculptor, painter and engraver, Carlos Mata studied Fine Arts in Barcelona and Paris, cities between which he has shared his residence since his formative years. He held his first solo exhibition at the Canalls gallery in Sant Cugat del Vallés in 1976, and this first exhibition was followed by others in Barcelona, France and Germany. Among his most recent exhibitions are those held at the Kreisler gallery in Madrid, Casal Soleric in Palma and Can Marc in Girona. His sculptures in unpolished cast iron take advantage of their austere and rough qualities in figurative stylizations of a certain primitivism and archaeological evocation, generally taking as a theme animals, such as bulls or horses. The same schematic intention can be seen in his painting, of a neo-figurative, planist type, with a contained and reduced chromatic range. In 2008, as a posthumous tribute, an important anthology of his work was held at Haras du Pin, in Normandy, France. It was a retrospective consisting of 35 bronze horses, in addition to his jewelry collection.

JAUME PITARCH (Barcelona, 1963). From the series "Matches", n.11. 1999-2000. Photography on baryta paper. Provenance: Gallery dels Àngels of Barcelona. Measurements: 80 x 80 cm; 81 x 81 cm (frame). Artist 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. Pitarch states that his work "focuses on how productivity has affected our notion of time. Market, work, value or leisure are only complementary expressions of it. It seems that contemporary art practice, participation and consumption are time-based activities and therefore subject to a system of production." He continues "Part of my practice consists of rescuing and reorganizing objects, actions or simple episodes that belong to these contexts in order to provide them with a new reading outside the limits that scheduled or productive time determines. These objects, the reproduction of these actions and episodes should be read as critical and poetic devices that make possible a decelerated revision of reality".
