ARTIST'S BIOGRAPHY:

Patti Jordan was born in New York City and lives and works in Montclair.
Patti Jordan was recently accepted into The Drawing Center’s online curated registry, “The Viewing Program” (NYC). Jordan received an Honorarium in 2009 for works included in “Lineweight,” a contemporary drawing exhibition at Truman State University Art Gallery, (Kirksville, MO). Two of her works have also been published in Manifest Creative Research Gallery’s 2010 International Drawing Annual. Jordan lectures on art and has written reviews for ArtCat Zine. She earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts with Honors from Pratt Institute and holds a Master of Fine Arts, Summa Cum Laude, from Montclair State University. She exhibits widely.

“Working with ink, water, graphite and solvent, Patti Jordan squeegees and pushes ink across the surface of large sheets of Fabriano paper. While not producing delicate soulful swoops with a hand-held Chinese brush, Jordan pushes and pulls her medium, coaxing and building the black ink so that it results in bold, textured and abstractly cratered and rippled layers. Creatures, bones, eyes, limbs and orifices appear, collide and condense on her horizontal and vertical scroll-like pieces, constructions of the imagination, psyche and random gesture.”
