About the Item

Jordan Barker is a New York City based mixed media artist. Initially inspired by found objects, his first piece was a coffee table that was created from a wooden palate found in the streets of New York. And, while the palate was interesting enough to catch his eye as a ready-made, Jordan was inspired by its potential, so he transformed it into something functional as well as beautiful. Thus began Jordan’s journey as an artist fueled by the process of creating meaning from nothing. “The sensation of touch is paramount to the human experience. I became acutely aware of this when the absence and variety of touch that I was used to experiencing had been abruptly stripped from my life during the pandemic. I got inspired to create my art to reintroduce these textures and sensations back into my life and provide me with a sense of presence and calm amidst what felt like quiet chaos. The pieces I created were a practice in mindfulness that I couldn’t achieve in any other way during this long period of isolation. By layering different materials and mediums on canvases, I began what is now an extensive body of large scale abstract expressionist style pieces. Looking back, I realize that each of these pieces is a visual record of the silent chaos I was feeling around me and my own personal need for touch, presence, and an escape into an almost meditative state. Rarely enlisting brushes or other traditional tools into my process, many of my canvases have been created using my bare hands. The experience of textures and sensations of the different mediums pressed against my fingertips during the creation process, is akin to what I hope my audience can now experience as they encounter my work in its completed state. My pieces are intended to be a sensory experience and unlike most works on canvas, I encourage my audience to interact with them. I want them to touch them. Feel them. Run their fingers along the surfaces and experience all the different textures and sensations which allow them to satisfy their own needs along the way. My art is intended to be a journey. First for me. Then, for anyone who interacts with my pieces. This journey is about being present. It is about experiencing one of the most primal elements of human nature: the sensation of touch.” Barker continues to draw inspiration from a deep and talented community of NYC artists, while developing and carving out his own unique style. He has created an impressive body of work, with pieces incorporated into numerous private collections around New York City and beyond.

Original Colorful Pink Birds Flowers Expressionist Painting - This Is My Jungle
Located in Los Angeles, CA
Urban abstract expressionism artist Tommy Lennartsson draws on the visual culture of street and pop art when creating his original vibrant mixed-media artworks. He employs a mix of abstract and figurative elements that give nods to neo-expressionism, faux-naїf, pop, and geometric abstraction schools of art. Lennartsson builds up his canvases with charcoal, acrylic, ink, and spray paint, and occasionally sews and stitches elements together to create striking scenes that ignite the viewer’s imagination. This one-of-a-kind 47-inch high by 59-inch wide original artwork is stretched, wired, and ready to hang. The sides of this artwork are painted and it does not require framing. The artist signs it on the back of the painting. Free local Los Angeles area delivery. Affordable Continental U.S. and worldwide shipping available. A certificate of authenticity issued by the art gallery is included. Color interactions and the interplay of light and darkness are important to Lennartsson. By combining materials such as found fabrics Lennartsson creates a patchwork with different elements for his expressionist canvases. The unique and playful compositions range from geometrical forms to figures, objects, and pop culture icons layered over fluid gestural expressions. Because of his intuitive style, no two works are the same, each exploring something fresh and exciting. “When I look at my paintings, I’m taken back to my childhood of endless doodling on my bedroom floor,” the artist describes. His work has been featured in the Spanish arts and culture magazine Lamono and was selected as the cover art for the Spring 2019 issue of New England Review. Lennartsson has exhibited extensively in both group and solo shows worldwide, including in the US, Canada, Europe, Japan, and China.
