In his studies, he learned figurative art, but later shifted towards abstract expressionism. We can clearly see influences of T\u00e0pies, Pollock, Rothko, and other masters of Informalism and American Abstract Expressionism. He works primarily with acrylic on linen. His paintings are characterized by broad, gestural brushstrokes and palettes of intense reds and blacks.<\/p>\n<p>His work is based on the constant search for new natural and earthy pigments, a profound evolution in the career of an artist who is currently in full creative maturity and who has created pictorially impactful works using elements as diverse as coffee grounds, dyes, acrylic pigments, oils and a long etcetera, giving his work a very powerful and material aspect.<\/p>\n<p>His works are the <a href=\"https:\/\/galerialarcada.com\/en\/jordi-artigas\/840-me-too.html\/\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-8797 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/galerialarcada.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/JORDI-1-232x300.jpg\" alt=\"Jordi Artigas\" width=\"343\" height=\"444\" \/><\/a>An internal reflection of his mind, conceptual and expressionistic, his work features bold strokes mixed with textures, graphic elements, and intentional grooves, conveying serenity and balance. His paintings showcase broad brushstrokes blended with textures, symbols, and deliberate lines. His chromatic works are carefully balanced with broad, dynamic brushstrokes. He is capable of achieving a striking final result with just a few strokes.<\/p>\n<p>Jordi Artigas is a dedicated artist with meticulous and consistent work:<br \/>\n\u00ab&quot;It&#039;s true that practice makes perfect, and the more I work, the better my work becomes.&quot;\u00bb<\/p>\n<p>This consistency has led him to participate in many solo and group exhibitions, as well as national and international art fairs.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.jordiartigas.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">.<\/a> Artigas&#039;s work can be found in many international collections, in cities such as New York, Milan, Tokyo, Amsterdam, Karlsruhe, Hamburg, London, Brussels, Berlin, among others.<\/p>\n<p>Jordi Artigas has managed to convey new sensations both to people who are discovering his works for the first time and to those who already know him as collectors and admirers of his artistic quality.<\/p>\n<p>Among his most outstanding works is &quot;Me Too,&quot; a painting that evokes a strong sense of empathy and human connection. In &quot;Me Too,&quot; Artigas uses a combination of dark and light tones to express the duality of human emotions, creating a visual impact that invites the viewer to reflect on their own feelings and experiences. The brushstrokes in this work are energetic and seem almost to vibrate with intensity, achieving a balance between chaos and order that is characteristic of his style.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/galerialarcada.com\/en\/jordi-artigas\/1377-st-7.html\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-8798 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/galerialarcada.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/JORDI-2-231x300.jpg\" alt=\"Jordi Artigas\" width=\"384\" height=\"499\" srcset=\"https:\/\/galerialarcada.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/JORDI-2-231x300.jpg 231w, https:\/\/galerialarcada.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/JORDI-2-9x12.jpg 9w, https:\/\/galerialarcada.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/JORDI-2.jpg 554w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 384px) 100vw, 384px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Another important work is &quot;ST 7,&quot; a piece that reflects his mastery of abstraction. In &quot;ST 7,&quot; Artigas plays with textures and colors in a way that suggests an inner emotional landscape, almost like a topography of feelings. The work is full of contrasts, with areas of calm and others of agitation, represented through mixed media techniques that include acrylics and natural pigments. The use of color in &quot;ST 7&quot; is particularly noteworthy, as he blends earth tones with metallic shimmers, creating a sense of depth and continuous movement.<\/p>\n<p>Artigas&#039;s ability to blend the emotional with the visual is also evident in his series of works dedicated to nature and its elements. His abstract landscapes, while not depicting specific scenes, capture the essence of natural environments through the use of colors and forms that evoke mountains, rivers, and turbulent skies. These landscapes are personal and subjective interpretations of the natural world, where every stroke and color carries profound meaning.<\/p>\n<p>Jordi Artigas&#039;s commitment to his art and his constant search for new forms of expression have established him as a complete artist. His work not only beautifies the spaces where it is exhibited, but also invites viewers to a profound reflection on human nature and emotions. Each of Artigas&#039;s pieces is a window into his inner world, a universe full of color, texture, and meaning, where every detail tells a story and every stroke has a purpose.<\/p>\n<p>You can visit <a href=\"https:\/\/galerialarcada.com\/en\/115-jordi-artigas\/\">our page<\/a> to see the works presented by this artist.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jordi Artigas: The Evolution and Technique of a Master of Abstract Expressionism, Zaragoza 1963.
