Biography

Jordi Taule is a French visual artist of Catalan origin, born in Céret, in the Roussillon, in December 1995. Shaped by his hometown and by the presence of the Musée d'Art moderne de Céret, he developed an early sensitivity to art, painting, sculpture, and modern forms of creation.

Raised in a Catalan territory deeply marked by matter, gesture, and transmission, Taule grew up in a family environment where creation held an important place. His grandparents, Catalan painters and sculptors, practiced art through an approach close to craftsmanship, at a time and in a rural context where becoming an artist was hardly imaginable. This discreet lineage, made of gestures, forms, manual work, and family memory, became one of the first foundations of his relationship to art.

At the age of eleven, he began taking his first extracurricular visual arts classes. He developed an instinctive relationship with image, drawing, and painting. His early research was marked by gesture, movement, matter, dripping, action painting, and the power of black. This initial approach, physical and expressive, established a direct relationship with creation: the artwork as trace, energy, and necessity.

He later attended the Beaux-Arts between 2014 and 2016. This period strengthened his interest in contemporary art, sculpture, image-making, and forms capable of existing beyond the traditional object. He eventually interrupted this academic path to work in Morocco, then in Madrid. These movements opened a new stage in his life, shaped by experiences, ruptures, and learning, gradually enriching his view of the world, bodies, places, and human narratives.

The birth of his daughter, Victoire, in Madrid, marked a major turning point in his personal and artistic trajectory. It opened a new chapter: one of transmission, childhood, responsibility, and time. From that moment, his desire to create began to transform. Art was no longer only a means of expression or formal research, but became an essential way to understand, structure, and give form to human experience.

Between 2018 and 2025, Jordi Taule pursued his artistic work in a more introspective period. Moving through different places, developing other projects, and gradually building a more mature reflection around his work, he shaped a deeper artistic language. This period was marked by fatherhood, learning, physical and psychological pain, but also by a search for distance, lucidity, and density. Far from a linear path, this phase became a necessary time of maturation, in which the artist sought to expand his visual language beyond his early pictorial gesture.

He currently lives in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, on the French Riviera, a territory between land and sea with which he has developed a profound attachment. Its light, relief, horizon, and contrasts between natural landscape, architecture, Mediterranean memory, and human presence now nourish his imagination. This place accompanies a period of introspection, fatherhood, and artistic construction, in which his work gradually takes on a more physical, symbolic, and public dimension.

His current practice questions the human condition, between joy, pain, and fatality. Through sculpture, installation, image, and in situ projects, Jordi Taule develops a language based on frontal, symbolic, and often monumental forms. His work explores childhood, memory, vulnerability, transmission, presence, disappearance, and collective responsibility.

Since 2022, he has been developing HUMANITY, a cycle of works conceived as the foundational project of his career as a visual artist. This body of work comes from a desire to give public form to intimate and universal questions: birth, loss, fear, beauty, the fragility of life, the bond between generations, and the passage of time.

Around HUMANITY, several series enter into dialogue. Some works take the form of monumental sculptures or enlarged objects, while others appear as structures, installations, or forms drawn from childhood and displaced into a more sacred, industrial, or minimal language. The artist is interested in how a simple, almost self-evident image can become a collective sign when displaced into an exhibition space, the city, or the landscape.

His work seeks to produce forms that are immediately readable, yet open. Forms capable of reaching the viewer before analysis, then gradually revealing deeper questions: what does a fragile body mean within a space of power? What happens when childhood is represented at a monumental scale? What remains of family memory, pain, joy, or fear once they become sculpture?

Today, Jordi Taule is pursuing the production of several series in preparation for his first solo exhibition. His ambition is to build a physical, memorable, and accessible body of work, capable of existing both within the gallery space and in the public realm. For him, art is vital: a way to leave a trace, to transform intimate experience into collective presence, and to confront the viewer with what runs through every human existence.
