JORDI ARTIGAS
（喬迪．阿蒂加斯）
Jordi Artigas（喬迪．阿蒂加斯）生於1963年，是一位西班牙藝術家，以對天然與大地色系顏料的創新運用而廣受關注。其創作歷程展現出持續而深刻的轉化，並發展出一系列成熟且極具辨識度的抽象作品。他運用咖啡、染料、壓克力顏料及油彩等多種媒材，創造出強烈的物質質感與近乎雕塑般的表現力量。作品如同內在思緒與情感的映照，融合觀念藝術與表現主義精神，透過動態筆觸、豐富肌理、象徵符號與刻意留下的刻痕，展現深具張力的視覺語言。
在巴塞隆納的Matiz Gallery，Artigas（阿爾蒂加斯）的作品曾於「Contrastes」等展覽中展出。在這一系列創作中，他深入探索自發性、肌理、色彩與對比之間的微妙平衡。畫布成為各種對立元素交會的場域，在秩序與即興之間展開持續的對話。Artigas（阿爾蒂加斯）的創作過程嚴謹而細膩。他將咖啡、膠料與水混合運用於畫布之上，形成獨特且富有層次的背景肌理。這些表面不僅承載繪畫行動留下的痕跡，也邀請觀者進一步探索與詮釋作品中各種對比關係的互動與張力。
Artigas（阿爾蒂加斯）對於新顏料與創作媒材的持續探索，逐漸發展出鮮明而獨特的藝術風格，並受到世界各地藏家的關注與喜愛。其作品現收藏於多個洲際地區的私人收藏之中，展現其廣泛的國際影響力與藝術魅力。透過創作，Artigas（阿爾蒂加斯）持續探索並呈現美感、平衡與細膩和諧之間的關係。他的作品不僅著眼於視覺表現，更邀請觀者放慢腳步，在觀看的過程中進入沉思與自我反省的狀態，感受畫面所蘊含的寧靜力量與內在共鳴。
藝術作品
This series is part of our Spring exhibition 2026. Jordi Artigas is a Spanish abstract artist. In this painting, he combines calligraphic, thick black and red gestures on a white canvas. Between these two layers, a central field of coffee-made strokes draws the composition inward, focusing the energy toward the centre.
The painting is finally brought together through elements of symbolic abstraction, such as the X and directional arrows. Jordi refers to this series as Neutral because, although his overall colour palette is wide, here it becomes more sober and “natural.” The large scale of the work (135 × 167 cm) gives the composition authority and weight.
Artigas’s painting also places strong emphasis on architectural balance and material process, which is why coffee plays a central role in his practice.
The emphasis on material process and time-based transformation in Artigas’s work echoes BASPcr’s methodology, where cultural meaning is built gradually through lived processes rather than through instant visual statements.

This series is part of our next Spring exhibition 2026. In this painting, Jordi Artigas focuses on balancing thick black and red gestural strokes with a field of translucent coffee washes layered over a white canvas. Rather than functioning as colour alone, the coffee acts as a staining and binding material, introducing texture, depth, and a sense of time into the composition.
Artigas’s painting enters into dialogue with Spanish Informalism, particularly the legacy of Antoni Tàpies and Antonio Saura, while also resonating with modernist symbolic abstraction as seen in artists such as Paul Klee and Joan Miró. These references emerge not as quotation, but through Artigas’s use of sign, gesture, and compositional rhythm.
The composition is ultimately brought together through symbolic elements — a flax-yellow cross and dark brown-black directional arrows — which anchor the movement of the painting and reinforce its internal structure. Through this interplay of gesture, material, and symbol, the work achieves a strong sense of architectural balance and visual coherence.
The emphasis on material process and time-based transformation in Artigas’s work closely aligns with BASPcr’s methodology, where cultural meaning is constructed gradually through lived processes, accumulated traces, and spatial reading, rather than through immediate or illustrative visual statements. In this sense, the painting functions as a material record of balance and negotiation — principles that also guide BASPcr’s approach to cultural activation within the neighborhood.

This painting is part of our next Spring exhibition 2026. In Series Neutral M 102, Jordi Artigas crowns the canvas with a rounded red gesture, balanced against a segmented black stroke that anchors the upper structure of the composition. These dominant forms establish the primary rhythm and visual tension of the work.
Working on a white canvas, Artigas layers coffee and earthy pigments as an initial staining process rather than as pure colour. This first material layer ties together the main gestures with less intense background strokes, subtly centring the composition and allowing the forms to settle into a coherent whole. The use of coffee introduces depth, translucency, and time, reinforcing the physical process behind the painting.
The composition is completed through symbolic arrow-like marks, which function as an imaginary and fragile guide, tracing movement and direction across the surface. Rather than dictating a single reading, these signs suggest a current or flow through which the materials and gestures interact.
The use of gesture as structure and the circulation of marks across the surface place Artigas’s work in dialogue with artists such as Mark Tobey, where painting operates as a field of movement, and Cy Twombly, whose signs function as fragile guides rather than fixed symbols. The authority of the black strokes also recalls Pierre Soulages’s understanding of gesture as a constructive, architectural element, while the overall restraint of the composition resonates with the quieter tradition of abstraction found in Joan Hernández Pijuan.
The emphasis on material process and time-based transformation in Artigas’s work closely aligns with BASPcr’s methodology, where cultural meaning is built gradually through lived processes, accumulated traces, and spatial reading, rather than through immediate or illustrative visual statements.

This painting is part of our next Spring exhibition 2026. Jordi Artigas structured this composition around two balanced, rounded gestures — a red stroke and an overlapping black stroke — whose intensity places them firmly in the foreground of the painting. Their curved movement establishes the primary rhythm and visual weight of the composition.
Behind them, additional strokes operate on a secondary plane: a black gesture that partially dissolves into the background, merging with layers of coffee and brown pigments, and a smaller red stroke which, despite its chromatic intensity, recedes spatially due to its scale. This controlled play between foreground and background creates depth without relying on illusionistic space.
The painting is developed on a white-painted canvas, allowing the material layers to remain legible and distinct. The composition is finally unified through symbolic arrow-like marks, which introduce direction, movement, and a sense of internal navigation across the surface.
Artigas’s use of gesture as sign and his restrained symbolic vocabulary places his work in dialogue with Antoni Tàpies and Antonio Saura, while his emphasis on balance, rhythm, and reduction also resonates with modern symbolic abstraction, particularly artists such as Paul Klee and Joan Miró. These references emerge not as citation, but as shared concerns with sign, structure, and compositional clarity.
The emphasis on material process and time-based transformation in Artigas’s work closely aligns with BASPcr’s methodology, where cultural meaning is built gradually through lived processes, accumulated traces, and spatial reading, rather than through instant or illustrative visual statements.

This 2-meter-wide composition by Jordi Artigas reveals the artist's dynamic and playful side. On a white canvas background, he uses a textured blend of coffee and acrylics to create layers, with a smaller grayish-blue section on the left. These serve as backgrounds for a black inverted triangle and two horizontally displayed strokes: one black, intermittent stroke and a more curved red stroke on the right. As in his other works, signature elements such as the cross and arrows are present, adding depth and identity to the composition.
