Those who have never dared to disrupt the normality of facts and things—the "dos and don'ts" of life—will find it very difficult to grasp the reality presented in the work of Joan Tuset.
His characters, usually framed within allegorical and poetic spaces and contexts, speak to us of a reality that is not seen with the eyes, heard with the ears, or felt by touch. Instead, it begins exactly where the superficial understanding of life and people ends.
Accepting the discomfort of having to speak about feelings and deep yearnings—of beats hidden in the "night of the heart"—he works tirelessly on his linen canvases, shaping who we all are in our most intimate selves. Through total nudity, gestures, movements, looks, and bodies, he seeks to soften the layers of life and the folds of the human heart. Surprised more than once by his own impulses and the journey of his personal history, Joan Tuset wants to help us, through his creations, not to live without living; not to look without seeing; not to feel without feeling; and not to be without being.
Indeed, with exquisite beauty, Joan Tuset creates—through his artwork—a mirror that allows those who do not fear the truth to find themselves.
Joan Tuset, experiences the drama of contemporary man facing both his own inner world and his Universe. His disturbing figurative themes, of a figuration far from a photographic reality, and within a bright light, make us see realities that transform the painting into a screen that move us through its sensitivity. Likewise, a brilliant draftsman and a wise colorist, Tuset asserts a strong artistic personality.
Joan Tuset suggests more than showing, he leads us to abandon everything a priori to enter his universe.
