BIOGRAPHY

Jordy Kerwick is a self-taught artist working mainly with paintings. His work portrays domestic settings in flattened compositions of pattern and colour. Using vivid tones and bold brushstrokes on top of the coarse collage, he builds richly textured surfaces of compelling depths. Through his paintings, Kerwick navigates the interplay between colours and forms as well as flatness and depth.

Kerwick’s work has been exhibited in several solo exhibitions, including The Three Month Dream, Piermarq, Sydney (2020); Sweep the legs, Johnny, Pt. 2 Gallery, California (2019); Macro/Micro; Paintings of Love and Hate, TW Fine Art, Brisbane, Australia (2019); Ich Bin DB Cooper, Galerie Rompone, Cologne (2019); A Declaration of all things Irreverent, Beers, London (2019); Fatal Purity, Masahiro Maki Gallery, Tokyo (2019) and I love you.
