BIO

Martí Sawe nació en Barcelona en 1986. Sus extravagantes pinturas nos trasladan a un mundo “bootleg” desconocido donde dibujos animados se rompen y diluyen en la abstracción. Las pulsiones expresionistas y garabatos torpes hacen patente su fuerte vínculo con el graffiti, actividad que practica desde los 14 años. Los detalles virtuosos y formas planas coloridas que definen sus composiciones son herencia de su carrera profesional como ilustrador y animador. Cada obra es una inmersión al inconsciente del artista con dosis de absurdidad, cierta estética naif y una lucha entre el control y el descontrol.

Martí Sawe was born in Barcelona in 1986. His extravagant paintings take us to an “unknown-bootleged-world” where figurative cartoon elements are broken and diluted in abstraction. His expressionist instincts and clumsy scribbles make clear his strong bond with graffiti, an activity that he has practiced since he was 14 years old. The virtuous details and colorful flat shapes that define his compositions are inherited from his professional career as an illustrator and animator. Each work is an immersion into the artist’s unconscious with a dose of absurdity, a certain naive aesthetic and a dispute between control and lack of control.
