Pablo Bronstein - 2 Lauriston Road and Well Street, E9
XCE5
Pablo Bronstein is an Argentine-British artist who lives and works in London. His practice revolves around the discipline of drawing, though he also produces installations and choreographed performances. As a draughtsman, he focuses exclusively on architecture, which he depicts with a unique blend of acuity, imagination, critique and candour. Like a contemporary Baudelaire, Bronstein portrays the present while exposing peculiar and contrary traces of the past; of continued traditions and constructed ambitions.
