<\/a><\/em><\/strong>“Next stop: Willougbi”<\/em><\/strong><\/a>. Such is the title of Juan Luis Jard\u00ed<\/strong>‘s just inaugurated exhibition at the <\/strong>Rusi\u00f1ol Gallery. Mystery and disquiet, even “provocation, are sensations transmitted by this painter: he leaves no one indifferent. An evidence of this avowal was the long carousel of questions publicly<\/em> proffered by the audience. What is Willougbi? Where is Willougbi?<\/em> This is part of the “game” which Jard\u00ed introduces us to with his work.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\"jl-jardi-02\"<\/a>The welcome. It was the first time that Juan Luis Jard\u00ed, even with his long trajectory -his first exhibition was when he was 16 years- was coming to the Rusi\u00f1ol Gallery. Ignasi Cabanas<\/strong> emphasized that with Jard\u00ed <\/em>\u00aba new episode of our Gallery was opening: a style of painting that, despite being still figurative, enters the world of magic and mystery\u00bb.<\/em><\/div>\n
\"jl-jardi-032\"<\/a> A man of a critical and nonconformist spirit with the “politically established” Josep M\u00aa Cadena<\/strong>, started by praising the versatility of the Rusi\u00f1ol Gallery: \u00ab\u00a1It is something I have practiced since long!\u00bb. Jardi’s painting moves along these lines \u00abI met him many years ago. He is a man consistent with his beliefs. I am surprised at his realism: it has the strength to explain things as they are, not only as they look like; as they are and as they appear before others\u00bb.<\/div>\n

\"jl-jardi-05\"<\/a>Maybe the magic element of Jardi’s work that mostly captivates the observer are the faces (and\/or the figures) of the painted people, frequently repeated once, twice or even three times. According to Cadena<\/strong>, it is because it deals with \u00abpersons that at times can be three while, actually, they are only one and the same one. It happens that quite often driven by curiosity we become three -like some kind of “trinity”- pretending to find ourselves behaving differently in front of the several situations we face in our life\u00bb.\u00a0 <\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

\"jl-jardi-06\"<\/a>The Rusi\u00f1ol Gallery<\/strong> never disappoints anyone: even Juan Luis Jard\u00ed’s Magic was excelled by reality<\/em>. Mar\u00eda, Denisee and Eileen took care of that. Their Young and beautiful faces placed a “trilogy” to “The swing of the old house”<\/em><\/strong><\/a>.<\/div>\n
\"jl-jardi-08\"<\/a>Juan Luis Jard\u00ed<\/strong> had a few words of gratitude for all the audience, and especially for the Rusi\u00f1ol Gallery and for Josep M\u00aa Cadena. After his brief speech something rather unusual happened: a burst of questions from the audience. Such a surprising phenomenon (at times it is difficult to get even one question) was perhaps induced by something even more surprising: 8 years old Mar\u00eda, opened fire and left us all with a heavy heart: -\u00abThis is not a question, but I would like to tell you that I like your paintings very much\u00bb. -\u00abThank you very much\u00bb, replied the artist. And so one and so forth… until thirteen more questions.<\/div>\n
