The artist

Gavin Jordan

Jamaican figurative artist based in Miami

Gavin Jordan is a Jamaican figurative artist based in Miami. His work explores memory, identity and the traces of lived experience, moving across painting, sculptural construction and material experimentation.

Earlier screw-built sculptured work was shown in Making Home: The Underground Library at Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum, New York, 2024.

A new body of work is taking shape in the Miami studio.

“The body holds what life gives us. Memory reshapes it.”

The artist's lens

Before the studio, there were systems — precision, structure, and the discipline of making things that hold. That same attention now serves the paintings.
