Pablo Armesto
(Schaffhausen, Switzerland, 1970)
Author's artworks
Pablo Armesto started his art practice in 1998, mainly within the realm of painting. An artist with many intellectual and formal concerns, in 1999 Armesto began to create works in the public space before then engaging with installation. At the current moment, his practice is going through an experimental phase, combining sculpture and painting, including the immaterial quality of light and shadows, with technology and science. He manages to give his pieces a heightened luminescence by means of LEDs, neons, cathodes and fibre optic, combined with wood and lacquered metal.
Since 2011 he has been on the roster of the Marlborough Gallery, which has showcased his work at the world’s major art fairs. Some of his works based on new technology, multimedia and installation have been exhibited at art centres such as Zentrum für Kunst und Medien, ZKM, in Karlsruhe, Germany (2009) and Laboral Centro de Arte in Gijón, Spain (2008). Pablo Armesto has had solo and group exhibitions all over Europe and Latin America, and he has been the recipient of numerous scholarships and prizes for sculpture and public art, including the Visual Arts Award of the Principality of Asturias (2006) and the Painting Prize at the National Art Competition of Luarca (2017).
His works are in the collections of, among others, the Government of the Principality of Asturias, the Department of Culture of the Principality of Asturias and the Centro de Escultura de Candás Museo Antón.
