Llegit III, 2003

About this work:

In Cano's work austerity is a quality that stands out. He uses a chromatic range that is reduced to white, grey, black and blue, although occasionally he turns to red in small amounts. He represents interiors with furniture such as tables and bookcases full of severely linear and geometric books. The title of works such as Legit I and Legit III takes us to a lived experience that the artist wants to convey. The spaces that Jordi Cano evokes in his work are close and accessible. Cano's work has been influenced by the ideas of the philosopher and essayist Gaston Bachelard, for whom the interior of a house can be understood as a receptacle for memories. In the works that we present appear types of dark figures silhouetted against a light background, RodinS Thinker, biomorphic elements, a figure of a classical appearance and Joseph Beuys hare.
