Jordan Burton / Jburt b.2000 (Columbus, Ohio)

Jordan is a self taught artist from Columbus Ohio who works in paintings, graphic design, character design, illustration, logo designs and clothing designs. He’s been making art since he was a kid but only started taking his works seriously right before graduating high school in 2018. Jordan had his first solo exhibit in 2023 at WIT gallery where he showcased his coloring book and 10 paintings. Jordan works primarily in oil paints on canvas and illustrations in procreate. His artwork is inspired by personal experiences of day to day life based on feelings and mood. He creates his pieces mostly based on mental health and how we all manage it. He feels that it's a subject not everyone is able to process or express so he does it with his art. Jordan makes a combination of abstract realism and cubism art through figures, he makes a scale look to the skin tone of the figures. Adding different shades of a color using deep hues, brightnesses, and saturations to the scales creating abstract shapes on the skin. Most of his figures are not based on real people, often just made up figures. He blends his  style of figures with different articulate clothing pieces and/ or landscapes with deep shadows and vibrant colors to compliment the skin tone shapes. Jordan’s current goal is to create artworks until he burns out of ideas and helps grow with others to make their artistic ideas tangible. As well as to inspire everyone around him.
