Jacques Gorde's painting is powerful and a mix between figurative and abstract. Nothing is shown and everything is conjured up. His massive or subtle use of colors allow him to work on aspects bordering dream and reality. Jacques Gorde is an all rounder, he paints by necessity. His paintings are filled with energy and vitality. The artist addresses several themes but the common point remains a zest for life. New-York, Lisbon, Nimes, Venice, landscapes, bulls, bull fighting, Africa, women....These subjects are portrayed by the artist in a sincere and intense manner. His spectators are very enthusiastic when it comes to his exhibitions.
