Artist Bio:

Jerry Jordan is a painter working in the style of contemporary realism. He counts the unsung artists of the Harlem Renaissance as his artistic role models. He has also been heavily influenced by such artists as John S. Sargent, William M. Chase, and Joaquin Sorolla just to name a few.

He is a graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater with a BA in Art, as well as his MS in Curriculum and Instruction with an emphasis in Art Education.

With a growing body of work, he is quickly becoming a highly sought-after artist.

Artist Statement:

“My paintings are a rejection of our societies’ collective illusion. They reject the accepted norms that it is right and only proper that we live our lives bowed in fear. rarely reaching our full potential or achieving our dreams. 

My paintings are a manifestation of ideas, meditations and impressions taken from the beauty of the everyday. Sculpted in light and shadow, they are a celebration of life and all its possibilities.”
