The artist
Gavin Jordan
Jamaican figurative artist based in Miami
Gavin Jordan is a Jamaican figurative artist based in Miami. His work explores memory, identity and the traces of lived experience, moving across painting, sculptural construction and material experimentation.
The work is made in two languages: Chalkline Figuration™ and SKULPT.
Earlier screw-built sculptured work was shown in Making Home: The Underground Library at Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum, New York, 2024.
A new body of work is taking shape in the Miami studio.

SKULPT
SKULPT is an active practice of sculptural paintings. Each work is built from individually placed and painted screws. Depth, light, and shadow turn that accumulation into an image with a physical presence. Earlier screw works are the foundation of this practice.
