URIARTE Ignacio

BIBLIOGRAPHY ARTWORKS

German artist Ignacio Uriarte started working as a professional artist shortly after he began a career in business administration. Although he decided to veer from his initial career path to dedicate his life to making art full-time, Uriarte still incorporates elements of his old life in his work. He often uses materials that are normally associated with an office cubical—ink cartridges, paper clips, doodles on a post-it—and the resulting works are commentaries on the day-to-day actions that many of us perform.

Uriarte's work has been exhibited internationally. One of his most well-known pieces was shown in 2009 at Art Basel Miami Beach—a video piece showing an actor verbally reproducing the sounds of a typewriter.
