28 - JORGE GALINDO (Madrid, 1965).

JORGE GALINDO (Madrid, 1965). "The neck of the bottle", 1996. Acrylic on canvas. Signed, dated and titled. Measurements: 200 x 170 cm. Jorge Galindo offers us in this work an amalgam of forms and colors. In it he approaches a type of gestural abstraction, giving great relevance to the interventions of chance and material aspects. Jorge Galindo began his artistic training linked to the Talleres de Arte Actual del Círculo de Bellas Artes de Madrid, starting his exhibition career during the eighties, his first exhibition was held at the Galería Víctor Martín (Madrid, 1989) and in 1994 he exhibited at the Galería Soledad Lorenzo. His production has been characterized by research and experimentation in painting. His first productions were an example of experimentation with the material and tactile aspects of painting. Galindo's work is close to a type of gestural abstraction, giving great relevance to the interventions of chance and material aspects. It is true that, from his first works, exhibited in the mid-eighties, Jorge Galindo combined painting with photographic collages. However, during the nineties he experimented with photomontages in which he used images from the illustrated media of the fifties and sixties and in which he expresses a critique of consumer society. Galindo's work has developed through series with a clear thematic unity, although expressed with stylistic resources of complex variety. Among his most important series are Pintura animal, La vie des bêtes, exhibited in the Espacio Uno of the MNCARS. His work has been exhibited in the most important galleries in the USA, Mexico, Portugal, Italy, Germany and Belgium.
