Though native of Bucharest, and having lived and worked in New York, Georgeta Cordier lives in France since 1989, and more particularly in Rouen where she forged herself an undeniable pictorial personality subsequent the classes at the Fine Arts Academy of Rouen, either through her oils or through her most recent ink on paper compositions. Georgeta Cordier declares herself “filled with wonder in front of the World!” Nothing could better express this outlook than her dynamic and blazing painting, resulting apparently from her initial training as a photographer and filmmaker, which is thus prolonged with a remarkable talent wherever her paintings takes her. Landscapes, seascapes, monuments are captured in movement, full of life, as they really are; the product of the conquest of nature by an enterprising artist, observant of the enchantment of the elements reflected in broad streams of colours. This insatiability however, is only love and sensitivity and these masses, these lights, Georgeta Cordier metamorphoses them in seduction with real mastery, in limpid and expressive dashes, and if her gesture exults, it is always with the conviction to release even more vitality and harmony. Both her nudes and her portraits overflow with sensuality and audacity, with sinuous and generous powerfully shaped curves and transparent nuances; these curves follow the rhythm and the passion of this artist. Indeed, Georgeta Cordier could not do without it in her creations of such intensity that they vivify a figurative style of exception served by an enchanting realism.

André RUELLAN, art critic

Looking at the works of Georgeta Cordier (alias Jimmie Stan), one is immediately surprised by the audacity and the vividness of the “fauve“colours, as well as by the movement which seems to animate the subjects: landscapes, bodies, objects... Perhaps the cineaste in her tries to bring on canvas the movement of the world which photography could not capture? Her subjects, in motion and coloured, release a form of “energy”: precisely the energy they have in reality. Thus, Jimmie Stan’s paintings resituate reality beyond what hyper-realism or photography can offer… which is precisely what one awaits from this art. The painter shows us more than what our eyes see. The artist enjoys going on trips, during which she fills her notebooks of sketches. Then, in her workshop, she works to recover and cast on canvas the light and the movement of the images kept in memory. She is attentive to the motion of the brush and to the breathing, for which she has been following the practice of yoga and meditation. However, wisdom and serenity do not prevent Georgeta Cordier to be daring… but without ever losing or disorient the spectator. Indeed, her canvases speak to us; speak to the soul, to the heart. They picture the world, through the filter of movement and light, which play with the sea or the curves of the bodies. They procure pleasure – which we finally await for in painting. Open your eyes on the work of Georgeta Cordier, painter of the movement and the colour of the world...
