BIO
Adrián Jorques
Valencia
1995
Interested in everything related to the urban context, Adrián Jorques’ production revolves around the idea of the city. He is interested in concepts such as emptiness and abandonment, because he finds in them traces and records of the passage of time and the actions that people leave behind.
The brushstrokes that can be seen in the works recreate and reflect all these marks, traces and records. They speak of memory and show the inevitable deterioration that the city has suffered as a result of the accelerated pace of life.
His works are built on detailed images: textures, patterns and shapes found in the buildings and structures of the city, which, when their parameters are altered, allow the author’s perspective and approach to be conveyed.
He graduated in Fine Arts from the Polytechnic University of Valencia, where he also obtained a Master’s Degree in Artistic Production. His work is included in collections such as the Juan José Castellano Comenge Foundation and the Gandía Blasco Group, among others.
His work has been awarded at the Abierto Valencia 2023, the XXVII Vila de Paterna Biennial, 2nd prize, the XXI University of Murcia Painting Prize, 1st prize and residencies for artistic creation and research, MUA, Alicante, finalist in the III Mª Painting Biennial Isabel Comenge Fundación Juan José Castellano Comenge 2022, and honourable mention in the XXIV and XXIII Fundación Mainel National Painting Prize, among others.
