llll | TITO'S
PROFILE
All along his artistic trajectory, Tito has based his creative research
on his passion for organic processes. When he decided to make human
hair sculptures, he gathered more than 2 tons of hair belonging to 400
000 people. A specially designed device uses water to agglutinate the
hair, which then creates massive blocks that can be sculpted. With these
blocks, Tito creates articulated sculptures in which the tension between
the blocks and their relationship with space is essential. |
These
sculptures grouped under the title "HUMAN BEINGS" also go with drawings
and a sound installation that imitates human murmuring. Thus, Tito is
also considered a multimedia artist. His paintings and drawings include
new technologies that illustrate his ideas on the evolution of organic
matter. Tito's work has gone through several periods. Between 1985 and
1988, he developed the "HUMAN BEINGS" project. Between 1988 and 1993,
he worked on the "ANIMALS" project, that includes sculptures and performances
made out of animal bones he gathered near Jaca (Huesca). As of 1991,
he began to work on videos and musical installations called "ORGANIC
MALBIENT". Since 1995, he has devoted his time to large paintings that
he considers as spaces where different energies collide. |
Other important aspects of his artistic production are the performances
and concerts in which he participates with musicians such as Atau Tanaka
and Zbigniew Karkowski, two members of the Sensor Band, Masaki Iwana
and Buto maestro, or with the multimedia artist, Sergio Caballero. By
using very complex technologies, the perception and the intuition of
these two artists come together to create multi-sensory atmospheres. Tito's work has been supported by Gay Mercader during the last 14 years. He has worked constantly, but has remained distant from conventional art marketing circles. Rosa martinez, art critic |
