Jorge creates enormous mural portraits of people in public places for everyone to enjoy.He is a very deep artist with a complex vision about life.
“My idea is to show that we should all be seen with dignity. I believe that our identity should come from within not from the brands that we wear. We should question who chooses our cultural icons and role models, our values and aesthetics. We are living in a time were corporate manipulation has become very refined and effective. `Terrorist´ manipulation has at its base the premise of the individual being considered dispensable in order to change the thinking of the larger group. By giving importance to each life I want to give importance to empathy.”
( Jorge Rodriguez Gerada)
Jorge Rodríguez Gerada took 34 photographs of Badalona residents, one from each of the city’s districts, and merged them to create a ‘composite face’. The resulting image represent the face of the city. This wall is 400 square meters, and took 5 days to complete.His achievements, his coherence, and the grandeur of the humanity in his work, place him among the best artists of our generation. Using words which are not my own, his “identities occupy the canvas of our cities, populating them with the marvelous residual essence of it people.
