Jordy Kerwick

b. 1982, Melbourne, Australia. Jordy Kerwick is an Albi, France-based artist, whose gritty, thickly impasto paintings range from haunting figurative portraits and Cubist-inflected still lifes to more abstract, gestural works in the vein of Franz Kline or Cy Twombly. Kerwick’s disparate practice embraces a range of materials including enamel, acrylic, oil, house paint, airbrush, graphite, and charcoal. The artists’ inspirations include art historical still lifes, his family, literature, music, and the city of Los Angeles. (Courtesy of Artsy).
