Marc Larré has a degree in Fine Arts and studied in Barcelona and New York, which undoubtedly influenced the versatility he achieves when focusing on the urban landscape. His photography is infused with the urban object, which he uses as the whole protagonist in the scene where he captures snapshots in time. The aim of taking sculptural thought into the photographic space helps Marc Larré create illusions and artificial landscapes through the way he plays with these elements that are taken out of their immediate surroundings: waste materials, urban furniture, buildings, etc. Through his perspective, these materials transmute into what humankind has made in its geographical sphere and the moral and cultural consequences that this implies for the entire social environment throughout history.
His artistic career began in the mid-sixties when he held several exhibitions along with Jordi Galí, Sílvia Gubern and Àngel Jové, and where he designed sculptures and installations of an imminent ephemeral aspect. He pioneered conceptual art in Spain and Arte Povera, up until his “Grans” series (1962-2003) in which we see a new vision of painting based on the composition with extra-pictorial materials, outside the established movements. Likewise, he developed his work along a long path of artistic research, of dispossession and synthesis, which began in the 1930s with Ferrant, Cristòfol and Miró, and that emerges in this context as one of the most unique and radical artworks in the contemporary Spanish scene.
