Jordan Buschur 'Skeleton Stack 2'

$0.00
NFS

Drawer 1- Skeleton Stack 2, tempera and colored pencil on paper, 14" x 11", 2020

Artist Statement

My paintings implant ordinary objects with psychological meanings, implying a human presence through depictions of accumulated collections. These collections, ranging from books to junk drawers to interiors of packed boxes, focus on the oscillation between private meaning and public presentation. Books have the potential to contain anything- secrets, romances, how-to guides, theories, handbooks for improvement. In painted form, they remain closed: an impenetrable façade, or conversely, a blank slate open to any interpretation.

Artist Bio

Jordan Buschur comes from a long line of collectors, and her paintings reflect this proclivity towards amassing objects. An artist, educator, and curator, she received an M.F.A. from Brooklyn College, the City University of New York. Her work has been shown in numerous locations, including exhibitions with the Center for Book Arts (New York), Tiger Strikes Asteroid (New York), and the Toledo Museum of Art. She was a community teaching resident at the Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts and the Sheldon Museum of Art and completed residencies at Chashama North, the Kimmel Harding Nelson Center for the Arts, and the Vermont Studio Center. Awards include the Ohio Arts Council Individual Excellence Award, and the Kimmel Foundation Artist Award. She has curated exhibitions at Cuchifritos Gallery and Spring/Break Art Show, both in New York, and the Neon Heater in Findlay, Ohio.
