Jordi Alcaraz Tarradas

Jordi Alcaraz, born in Calella, Spain, in 1963, is a Catalan artist gaining international acclaim with recent exhibitions in Belgium, Germany, Italy, Canada, the USA, Switzerland, and Spain. His work, deeply rooted in cultural influences, reflects a modern, conceptual output. Alcaraz's pieces captivate with their poetic aesthetic beauty, meticulously crafted in various materials, showcasing the artist's commitment to precision in communication. Balancing weighty, tactile physicality with quiet contemplation, Alcaraz delves into the essence of language and artistic expression. Drawing inspiration from Arte Povera, Surrealism, and Abstract Expressionism, his use of reflection, distortion, and unique mark-making creates a distinctive visual language. Notably, he engages in hands-on manipulation of materials like glass, ceramic, or acrylic, employing processes that break, melt, puncture, or warp them—an embodiment of his lasting, authoritative presence.
