Eduard Arbós was born in Barcelona in 1959. His work revolves around a meditation on architecture and its essential concepts: building, defining, opening up, etc. More particularly, Arbós explores the relationship between physical spaces and mental, imaginary, abstract spaces and structures.
In terms of form, his work takes many different shapes, ranging from abstract painting and sculpture to models, interventions in space, photography and publications, in which he combines image and text.
His solo exhibitions include particularly El hombre ama la casa y odia el arte (Espacio Independiente, Barcelona, 2011), Notas al margen (Galeria Alejandro Sales, Barcelona, 2010), Pieces and Parts (Galería La Nave, Valencia, 2009), Lindes (Galería BCP&P, Madrid, 2007) and Donde la mente habita (Galeria Alejandro Sales, Barcelona, 2005). He has taken part in the ARCO art festival since 1997 and has frequently featured on the programmes of Arte Lisboa and Arte Santander. He has also taken part in collective exhibitions at such galleries as Cànem (Valencia), La Caja Negra (Madrid) and Alejandro Sales (Barcelona).
His works are found, amongst others, in the “la Caixa” Contemporary Art Collection, Caja Madrid, the Fran Daurel Private Cultural Foundation and Otten Kunst Raum (Hohenems, Austria).
