Jordi Teixidor

His approach is characterized by a rational, Apollonian, balanced form of painting whose expressive elements are highly restrained and directed toward conveying a spirit of doubt and critical inquiry. His work embodies a reflective modernity that encourages contemplation and resists narrative readings. It constitutes an aesthetic and intellectual examination of the limits of painting, the pursuit of “non-painting,” the aspiration to create the definitive painting, and the expression of a sense of ethical and political failure.

His work has been shown at the Venice Biennale and in New Images from Spain (1980) at the Guggenheim Museum in New York, as well as at institutions including the Spanish Academy in Rome, the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, the UNAM Museum of Contemporary Art in Mexico City, the Contemporary Art Gallery in Bulgaria, Caja de Burgos, and the IVAM. His work is also held in collections including those of the Guggenheim Museum in New York; the MNCARS in Madrid; the IVAM in Valencia; the Juan March Foundation; the Banco de España Collection; the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs; the Stuyvesant Collection in Amsterdam; the Museo Patio Herreriano; the CAAM in Las Palmas; the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; the ”la Caixa” Foundation; and the Berkeley Art Museum.
