We have begun a new year at the Rusi\u00f1ol Gallery<\/strong>! And not any year, but that of our 25th<\/sup> anniversary<\/strong>. We want to celebrate it with everybody: with those \u2014renowned\u2014 who are well established painters of figurative painting, but also with those \u2014with coveted youth\u2014 who already are emergent certainties with a great future ahead. This is the case of Jordi Jubany<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

We are enthralled with the “immense” images of his paintings. The title of this exhibition “The creativity expressed in the cities”<\/a><\/span><\/em><\/strong>, is well deserved. Jubany while certainly being figurative and monumental he is, at the same time, very imaginative: “his” cities go far beyond what he has seen…<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/a>\"\"<\/a>As director, Ignasi Cabanas<\/strong> welcomes the new 2011, while highlighting the fact that it is going to be an important year for the Rusi\u00f1ol Gallery. Concurrently, he also welcomes the artist. Jordi Jubany<\/strong> exhibited in our Gallery for the first time \u00abThere is a future as long as it is not the only exhibition… We hope that, from now on, there will be others… You have what it takes to be a good painter!\u00bb.<\/div>\n
<\/a>\"\"<\/a> Josep M\u00aa Cadena<\/strong>: \u00abIt is not a new season that begins, but a new year of new exhibitions. In this case, Jubany, is a novelty for the Rusi\u00f1ol Gallery, but it is not so for the artist. He has already proven in Girona and in his Matar\u00f3 that he is a man who believes in persistence and in hard work. As a child he began to draw, to play with colours, to establish shapes, to become familiar with distances… He achieved something quite difficult: it is the painting that calls on you; it is not you who put things on the painting, but you place on it those objects it requires\u00bb.<\/div>\n
<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/strong> Jordi Jubany<\/strong> congratulated Ignasi for the 25 years of the Rusi\u00f1ol Gallery. Then, while pleasantly addressing Cadena, he added: \u00abThere was a famous painter, Mark Rothko, who did not paint pictures but things. I paint not only Venice, for instance, but I want to go far beyond, so that people may also appreciate its many things and that each time they see it, they may see new things\u00bb.<\/div>\n
<\/a>\"\"<\/a>The questions from the audience<\/strong> were an opportunity for the artist to reveal some of his “secrets”. \u00abI can rely on a picture, but I prefer to be on the spot and, rather than painting what I am looking at, I like mostly to perceive what I feel in that very moment\u00bb. Another point: when asked whether he uses rules and right-angles for his rather architectural style, he answered he does not need any sketches, but he prefers to begin with a thought, with some reminiscence, then seizing the brush starts painting \u2014from one end to the other of the canvass\u2014 and he does not stop until he has fully finished it. <\/span><\/div>\n
