JORDAN ROBERTS Artist
BIOGRAPHY I am an urban artist born and raised in Vancouver Canada and have spent most of my thirty-three years close to the city center. Punk rock, skateboarding and hip-hop have played a large role in both my personal and artistic development. Artistic influences are subway graffiti, abstract expressionism of the 1950’s and neo-expressionism of the 1980’s. My work reflects both the history of Art and the attitudes and issues of urban youth. I feel no boundaries with either materials or subject matter and process is my ultimate joy. The images and messages conveyed in my paintings reflect both my own personal experiences and my exploration into all aspects of animal existence. Other artists who have influenced and inspired my work are Cy Twombley, Jean Michel Basquiat and Donald “Dondi” White. I completed the Studio Art Program at Capilano College in 1994 and later that year mounted a solo exhibition at The Ferry Building Gallery in West Vancouver. I have exhibited in solo and many group exhibitions in and around Vancouver since that time.CONTACT INFO
