| MATT JORDAN EXHIBITION |
This week, on the 29th November, we have an exclusive Exhibition by the brilliant artist Matt Jordan. The private view, starting at 6pm, will be held at Map Music headquarters, and will include paintings and sculptures by the artist, all of which are available to purchase. Please see the flyer above for further information, and the address of the venue. Special guests DJ Mr Cosmo and Jimmy Screech will be playing at the event. Come along for drinks and nibbles, and maybe a chat with the man himself, Mr Jordan. See you there! Matt Jordan’s work seems on the surface to be cute and playful, but there is always a darker side to the imagery. Matt uses colour as a diversion, disguising a more serious, darker element to his work. The dilapidation of found materials that matt uses in his work often oppose the strong colours and modern shapes in his graphic style. Bright and playful images are placed on found or recycled materials, giving the overall composition a feeling of something that is both old and new. Text accompanying the images gives a clue to the subject of the painting. Humorous word play is used to imply a more serious meaning, while bright colours keep the overall impression of the work light. Indulgent use of colour, humour and bold lines present deadly serious arguments in a fashion that is light and accessible. To View some examples of his work please visit: |
