Nicolas Jorcino is a native of Buenos Aires, Argentina, who has lived and worked in Louisville, KY since 2001. While attending architectural school in his hometown, Jorcino was introduced to painting during weekly sessions at a local master's workshop. He quickly began conducting his own experiments, which led him to become a full time muralist for the next eighteen years. Today his work is still informed by some of the same problems, pursuits and processes of architecture and design; as a social and physical science and also as a fine art. About his work in this exhibit, Nicolas writes, “My formal training is in architecture and urban planning. I began this series of paintings a few years ago while exploring different aspects and similarities between these two disciplines and painting. Identifying light as the primary material of architecture, I looked for a way to present it with the same weight and hierarchy as the concrete structures that control and shape it in the works of some of the masters I admire... In these images, the process is revealed more as an intellectual exercise than a physical execution.”
Nicolas is currently exhibiting at the Carnegie Center for Art & History in Kentucky with another TWFineArt artist and favorite, Rebecca Norton. The is exhibition titled In Between and runs until October 11, 2014.
