Jacin GIORDANO

"I often find it difficult to make a painting without considering the romantic mythology surrounding the history of painting."

 

Bubbling and plentiful, as if in a state of perpetual creation, Jacin Giordano's paintings present themselves as skilful ensembles. Collages where shapes and materials seem to be in constant flux. Applying precise and meticulous additions of strips of acrylic paint, glue, threads or fragments of wool onto the base material, the artist constantly invokes constructive oppositions and fascinating contrasts, as his working method – accumulating successive layers – makes them very visually effective and intriguing. Similar to evolving puzzles put together without any instructions, Jacin Giordano's paintings are akin to construction games in which the eye is invited to lose itself and reassemble the parts.
