Knee Deep in the Hooplah, Better Flush the Recycle Bin Print

Jordan Clayton is an award-winning artist who specializes in painting and drawing. His work has been exhibited internationally from the very start of his practice and now belongs in several private collections. The current objective of his work is to monumentalize the unseen and unnoticed by exploring the processes and growth of organisms, objects, and ephemera whose existences may or may not exist to the naked eye. He is interested in restructuring narratives that intersect between art, science, fiction, and queerness in a melange that forecasts a reality only a few degrees separated from the present. His painted “worlds” employ techniques rooted in abstract and surrealist painting tropes, creating imagery that feels familiar, yet still boarders on the fantastical.
