Chelsea Art Group is pleased to present a new edition by Jordi Alcaraz

Jordi Alcaraz was born in Spain, 1963. He is a celebrated contemporary Spanish artist whose profoundly poetic works so impressed the critical audience in his  U.S. debut that his major recent inaugural exhibition was cited as one of the ten best museum shows in Southern California. Always raising conceptual questions about painting and sculpture, Jordi’s work discusses the basic materials and gestures of the trade of being an artist. Conceptually, he extends notions of perspective utilizing various tools and materials like an alchemist. Through the use of bending, tearing and puncturing materials in unpredictable ways. The transparencies and  holes allow us to see magic and hidden spaces.

His work has been equally celebrated throughout Europe. Alcaraz’s art transcends the categories of paintings, sculptures and drawings as they blend all media, employing assemblage-like manners and installation. Conceptually, he extends notions of perspective utilizing various tools and materials like an alchemist. Through the use of bending, tearing and puncturing materials in unpredictable ways, Alcaraz creates realms as ambiguous as those of his Catalonian antecedents, such as Miró, Dali and Tàpies. The leading Spanish art critic Mariano Navarro describes Alcaraz’s works as “an extraordinary metaphor of the practice of art . . . that I dare define as philosophical . . . carriers of a singular poetry.”
