Perejaume
Since the mid-seventies, years in which he began an early artistic career, he developed a painting of multiple references spanning from Friedrich and the romantic masters in subject matter (the landscape, the night, the sky, the journey), Surrealism, and the Catalan landscape painting of the 19th century, in which the role of Joan Brossa is determinant. Already in the early eighties he began to diversify his media through the use of photography, collage and performance, which responds to the mechanics of representation, perception and interpretation of reality.
Painting and landscape become central themes in Perejaume’s work, categories on which he displays a double reading: on the one hand, he perceives them as cultural paradigms that condition the way of looking, apprehending and relating to the world of the senses; on the other, he views them as constructions to which he gives an instrumental dimension and, as such, reduces them to their condition as objects, susceptible to manipulation and transformation based on his conceptual interests. He defined a repertoire of themes that he maintained throughout his career, reduced in number but complex in their metaphorical declination. Establishing a parallelism between theater and painting, he stages the paradoxes that derive from the semantic diversity that accompanies representation, and where the systematic use of the fragment becomes a key element of his language. With the same relevance as his visual practice, he has carried out a wide literary production that includes essays, criticism, narrative and poetry.

Revelations on a shapeless sphere
FontetaJun 17 - Aug 28, 2022
For the second consecutive year, we are delighted to present a collaborative project between galleries Bombon, Galeria Joan Prats and NoguerasBlanchard. The proposal for this summer once again brings together artists from the three galleries and from different generations in an exhibition format that will be based on the exquisite corpse principle, with a text by poet Eduardo Escoffet written for the occasion.
Focusing on this act of collective exchange, during the summer of 2022, the artists invited to participate, the first of them Pere Noguera (La Bisbal del Ampurdán, Girona; 1941) , will be in charge of selecting the first group of artists, and so on in succession, until closing a cycle of exhibition proposals made up of works spanning different generations and imaginaries.
Chapter 1: Opening Saturday 25 June
Pere Noguera, Luis Gordillo, Ludovica Carbotta (Room 1)
Pere Noguera, Anna Dot, The Late Estate Broomberg & Chanarin (Room 2)
Chapter 2: Opening Saturday 16 July
