Josep M. Codina is a painter of sensations that emerge from the clash between pleasure and pain, plenitude and austerity. Through the use of horizontal lines, he shows the skin from some part of the human body. Folds that bear witness to the passage of time, a summary of experiences and an identifying sign of our existence. He superimposes glazes, rubbings and splashes onto a soft background, and he uses graphite to trace shadows of simple and sinuous forms. The whole work is covered in paraffin which endows it with a faded, blurry atmosphere. The artist applies an innovative vision onto everyday reality by focusing his gaze on all those things that have not be the subject of our attention.
