1963, Havana, Cuba. Vive e trabalha entre Mérida, México, e EUA.

A investigação de Jorge Pardo aborda o conceito de funcionalidade, especialmente quando beira o absurdo e a pureza do objeto, questionando os limites da arte. Sua pesquisa evolui numa narrativa construtiva, como por exemplo a justaposição de técnicas diversas para compor um conjunto pictórico de referências não apenas da contemporaneidade, mas que também adentram o universo da própria história da arte.

O artista formou-se em belas-artes. Dentre as exposições individuais estão as realizadas na Pinacoteca do Estado de São Paulo (2019), Petzel Gallery, Nova York (2014), Gagosian Gallery, Nova York (2010), Irish Museum of Modern Art, Dublin (2010), Los Angeles County Museum of Art (2008), e Museum of Contemporary Art, Miami (2007). Dentre as mostras coletivas está a 57ª Bienal de Veneza (2017).
