From Wally Workman Gallery:
“Opening Saturday, February 3rd, Wally Workman Gallery is proud to present a solo show, Tiempo Sostenido, by Spanish artist Juan Luís Jardí. A mix of magic realism with certain influences of Pop Art and surrealism, Jardí’s figures and themes illustrate the contrast in our lives and the doubts we are faced with as humans. He strives for his work to provoke feelings: nostalgia, melancholy, and a sense of uneasiness, as well as feelings of euphoria and calm. Jardí’s fascination with classic Hollywood films as well as his admiration for painter Edward Hopper and contemporaries are apparent in the scenes of mid-century America which appear frequently throughout his work.
Juan Luís Jardí has exhibited internationally since 1983. He has received over a dozen awards for his art, including three Medals of Honor in the annual BMW Painting Prize. Jardí lives and works in Barcelona, Spain.
Established in 1980 and located in a 120 year old historic house, the Wally Workman Gallery specializes in emerging and collected talent.
