Biography

Jordi Isern is a Spanish artist born in 1962. He lives in St. Iscle Emporia in Spain and has a PhD in Fine Arts from the University of Barcelona.

Jordi Isern's work is a lot like abstract realism. His portraits are cut, engraved with signs like illegible writings. This results into paintings, in which the artist focuses on the human body, that has a deep symbolic meaning. Through the use of chiaroscuro, his nudes, and the asceticism of the colors, Jordi Isern's paintings not only create a concern but are also provocative, they lead the spectator to its true essence, its void. The painted bodies by Jordi Isern are like an intentional chromatic range: ocher, brown, gray.
