Jacin Giordano

Although Jacin Giordano often blurs the line between painting and sculpture, his work can be primarily seen through the lens of painting. His main interest consists in deconstructing the medium and reconfiguring it. Constantly exploring material, texture and process, Jacin Giordano’s work is often the result of experimentation. His paintings are rather crafted than executed: remnant material from one painting, the result of a working process of pouring, scraping, cutting, gouging, tearing, and sanding, leads directly to the production of a new piece. By "tearing paint to pieces" – in the artist’s words – and uncovering the framework beneath his paintings, Jacin Giordano intends to dispel the romantic mythology surrounding the history of painting to get the viewer closer to its materiality. The result invites "the eye and the imagination to infinite digressions somewhere between exhilarating strolls and endless daydreams" (Frédéric Bonnet).
