__Julian
Jordanov is a sought-after master of the exlibris in Europe. His
drawing skills show a great erudition towards the balance of the
constructional problem. In the pictorial field he puts in big and
small figures in complicated foreshortening, odd architectural details,
specimens of the fauna and flora, exhibited by a complex mind and
well-found contrasts - all presented convincingly in our present.
The erotic hints, complex poses of the seducing female bodies, at
first sight could be taken for ostentation, but they are a result
of a great creative search and possibilities of the drawing moment.
__The artist makes his mark as a master in his cutting skills. It
comes to that the simple technique of the cutting points deceives
perfectly and the most prestigious expert in the etching cannot
imagine that everything is painted only and namely with the point.
It is a remarkable gift to build in the figurative space the complex
human foreshortening to impress on the audience the meaning of the
graphic possibilities.
__The unordinary ideas and artistic interpretations skillfully match
to the exuberant expressiveness of white, gray to get to a moment
of complete darkness. The contrast of purely white fields with a
continuation of the human figures into architectural or plant elements
and the odd constructional interference of the book-plate's texts
are very convincing. The superior details, so favorite to the artist,
are accomplished skillfully, put into an imaginary, his reality.
__It is unusual that author holds up an attitude to one realism
with personal deformation and tense and although this reality looks
like a reality at first sight, it is rather convincingly non-existing
one.
__Julian Jordanov is a brilliant, young author who stands up for one
realistic aesthetics, which with a lot of elements of time's associativeness
(which it lives in), reaches to the specific situations moments of
image.
__It is wonderful the graphic art is simply a way of life for the young
artist.
