OH WORD?

**JORDAN SULLIVAN** Welcome to Los Angeles (2022) // Acrylic on Canvas

Jordan Sullivan continues to play with time and space creating beautifully creative scenes that feel like they could take place in a 70’s movie shot in the desert or came from a dream.

With the wonderful contrast of each vivid and clean background that pops the characters, some of which feel like they finally reunited to create the perfect scene, these works will surely brighten up any room and give you something to think about.

> JORDAN SULLIVAN is a self-taught painter who was born in Houston, Texas but raised in rural Ohio and Detroit. Sullivan’s art depicts a grim world that is broken but salvageable. His characters, whether lost in grief, lost in alcohol, alone in a new country or at a crossroads, become testaments to a kind of resilience that has always marked our shared humanity.Before becoming a full-time artist, he worked a number of odd jobs including dishwasher, housekeeper, graphic designer and on construction crews in Texas, New York City, and Los Angeles. He lives in Brooklyn, New York.
