What they say about Jordi’s work
“…There is a new subtlety of both colour and form in these recent paintings, but the artist’s openness and his willingness to document his emotional experiences on canvas is still evident … ”
Cathy Dillon, The Irish Times (The Ticket, August 29, 2008)
“Full of beautiful intricacies, Forniés’ works layer opulent paint and mixed media. What started out as virginal canvases, in the hands of this chemist-turned-artist, become meticulous creations of beauty. ”
Stephanie Nikolopoulos, Arts writer, New York - July 2008
“Each Jordi Fornies painting is a balance between commitment to a personal and aesthetic foundation and the inspiration to flight, between aesthetic choices and the freewheeling subjectivities stirred by memory and inspiration.”
Stephen Bracco, Arts Writer – New York, June 2008
