Jordi Lopez-Alert

Lopez-Alert holds a degree in Fine Arts and a diploma in Library Science and Documentation from the University of Barcelona, UB. In 2009, he spent some time in Michigan (USA), where he developed a series of poetic and contemporary works with reused paper bags, which he called the Michigan Papers Series. His interest in the environment, industrial society, landscape, and everything surrounding him, and how it affects and conditions human life, are recurring themes in his work. Michigan Papers is the starting point for many of his subsequent artistic proposals, in which he advocates for the contemporaneity of drawing, painting, and printmaking in a world dominated by digital images, almost always using reused materials.

Books, forever! is an evolving artistic project; a critique of consumer society from a reflective and poetic perspective. Used books—filled with knowledge, thoughts, and literature—serve as a starting point to explain the accelerated transition to a world that is increasingly technological, where digital images dominate while painting and drawing tend to disappear.
Works where different languages coexist, subtly interwoven to create a new contemporary narrative.
