Pere Jaume Borrell i Guinart, known as Perejaume, (born in 1957 in
Sant Pol de Mar,
Catalonia) is a
Spanish contemporary artist.
Of self-taught formation he takes clear influences of authors like
Joan Brossa, with whom he will share work mixing the painting and the poetry.
His work covers a discursive plane of subject matter that includes humans' relationship with nature, the
society of the
spectacle, and the reevaluation of
modernist painting. He has been exhibiting his work around the world since 1990 in such institutions as the
Arnolfini Gallery in Bristol, England, the
Meyers Bloom Gallery in Santa Monica, California and the
Galeria Joan Prats in Barcelona, Catalonia.
