Bio : Alberto Blanchart
Jeune peintre / photographe Espagnole, vie à Barcelone
(Madrid Spain, 1971) photographer, comic book artist, strip cartoonist and painter.
He studied in la Escuela de Artes Aplicadas y Oficios Artísticos (Llotja) de Barcelona. (1990-1995) and
learned from Xavier Canals teacher in Image Semiotics and from Toni Miró, teacher in Pictures and
Illustration Techniques
In 1995 he was entitled Technician in Professional Photography
Initially he was influenced by relevant cartoonists like Mike Mignola, Bill Sienkiewicz or Frank Miller,
and as long as he was making progress in his in depth studies both in aesthetics and conceptual
knowledge, he was impressed by the work of Vicente Segrelles.
Of his work as a painter and cartoonist, Blanchart took his touch of fantastic surrealism full of unusual
findings. Slowly but consistently he left his initial influences applying his personal point of view inspired
in the so called, black cinema as in Gilda, with surprising angles and contrasts which give name to the
Series.
Always searching for new ways of artistic expression, he started studies in Espai de la Fotografía
"Francesc Català Roca" where he discovered the work of photographers like Robert Capa and Henri
Cartier-Bresson.
This influences and studies made him evolve to search new perspectives and technologies, finding the
assembly of light and shadow. His projects are centred in abstract new plastic compromises.
Giving a twist to his career turns his interest in new art forms, scrawled on the walls, influenced by
Obey, Suso 33, Banksy, Cope2, Invader, using them only as a reference, seeking a new life drawing
on the walls of the large cities, picking through demos what to consider dirt, there is a new concept
Embryo.
