Pello irazu biography of william

Along with Txomin Badiola and Ángel Bados, Irazu is considered one of the most important figures within ‘new Basque sculpture’.

During the 1980s, Irazu began establishing the parameters that would feature throughout his career: limiting the size of his works in relation to his own physical possibilities, so that each piece focuses a performative act; or taking a heterodox approach as he reaches out to minimalism and to Oteiza, creating works with great material density that produce a spatial discontinuity wherever they are placed.

In 1989, Irazu moved to London, and then in 1990 to New York thanks to a Fulbright Scholarship. He lived and worked there throughout the 1990s and regularly exhibited at the John Weber Gallery. He currently lives and works in Bilbao.
