Jorge Galindo, Las Fatales Adolescentes, 2020
We channeled the idea of Willem de Kooning, to whom the paint is enough... you need a paint bottle, a brush and faith. - Jorge Galindo, 2021
Jorge Galindo’s three decade long practice shows a broad body of work. His Œuvre includes painting, collage, photomontage and gestural abstraction and his training at the Talleres de Arte Actual – part of the non-profit cultural institution Círculo de Bellas Artes of Madrid – proofed a lasting influence.
Galindo’s gestural marks— splatters, sprays, and swaths of bright colors— attest to his unrivaled skill as a draftsman of the painted stroke, as well as a colorist and a master of composition. He himself describes his paintings, who are very often of monumental scale, as dirty pop.
