I know Jordi's work since we met in the seventies at the School of Fine Arts in Barcelona, and at that time I was already fascinated by the way he explained the world, his wise irony, but above all the exigency he has always shown when it comes to materialising it all, to sculpting ideas. Because although he masters the materials and how to work them, Jordi does not stop at the search for shapes and volumes, which he does too, but goes further and twists the contents and the continents, forcing the viewer to participate in a totally unusual dialogue, which can range from a tense provocation to the calmest and most reflective introspection. And always with impeccable execution.
"My work is close to meaning and reflection on concepts and ideas. Recurring aspects are life, time and the death of the individual".
Born in Badalona one summer night in October 1956.
Studied Fine Arts at the University of Barcelona. Began his first works and actions in the street at the end of the seventies, under the influence of conceptual art.
Since 1989 he has exhibited in galleries and museums in Badalona, Barcelona, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Girona, Hannover, Madrid, Bonn, Strasbourg, Reus, Valencia, Lleida, Valls, Tarragona, Palafrugell, Santander, Terrassa, Sant Cugat, among others.
He has received the Plastic Arts Scholarship of the Generalitat (1989), an honorary mention at the Julio Antonio Sculpture Prize (2008) at the Museum of Modern Art of Tarragona, a runner-up prize (2012) at the Tarragona Art Biennial and the Art-FAD prize (2012).
