Paco Pomet

Born 1970 in Granada, Spain. Currently lives and works in Granada.

Pomet pursued his studies at the University of Granada and the School of Visual Arts in New York. His paintings are recognised by their foundational use of photographic images, which he subsequently distorts and transforms through the incorporation of cartoonish elements — such as shoes, hands, speech bubbles, and other figures. This approach aims to subvert traditional modes of representation. He uses his precise observation to reflect the humour and realism, emphasizing the aggressiveness, assaulting and confronting throughout national history between different countries. The black and white of his painting reinforce the appearance of black and white historical photos, explaining the history in a unique while sarcastic way.

Pomet’s works are in the permanent collections of the Ministry of Cultural Affairs, Madrid, Spain; Spanish Academy, Rome, Italy; Santander Museum of Fine Arts, Spain; IVAM (Valencia Institute of Modern Art), Spain; and Colecciōn Solo, Madrid, Spain.
