Jordan Broadworth

Canadian artist Jordan Broadworth studied at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design University prior to graduating from the University of Guelph’s Master of Fine Art program in 1997. Jordan Broadworth's paintings involve a process heavy, labor intensive and hands-on approach to making paintings that look decidedly hands-off. Each painting is made wet-into-wet, built-up in multiple layers and stripped back. The result is a smooth, uniform surface and a levelling between figure and ground, gesture and structure, chance and intention. The practice of viewing work on screens has changed how works are read and interpreted. Painting now leads a double life. Every physical work spawns a pixelated proxy. Painting plays defence for immediate experience while firmly planted in the mediated. This body of work acknowledges and gives form to this contradiction, playing in the gap between immediate and the mediated experience. His paintings are represented in public and corporate collections including: The Art Gallery of Nova Scotia, McKee Nelson LLP (NYC), TD Bank, Bank of Montreal, Remai Modern, Tom Thomson Art Gallery, Peel Art Gallery and Dalhousie Art Gallery. Reviews and articles on Broadworth have appeared in Canadian Art Magazine, The Globe and Mail, The New York Times, Abstract Painting in Canada by Roald Nasgaard and the Brooklyn Rail.
