Jordan Sears is a painter based in Kansas City, Missouri whose work revolves around utilizing found imagery. She showcases society’s intricate relationship with visual culture by drawing parallels to motifs found in iconography, advertisements, and celebrity culture. Both provocative and self-conscious, her works are representations of images that are manipulated through cropping. This fragmented narrative generates a tension that is further emphasized by the painting’s formal qualities of light, composition, and texture, all of which work together to capture the viewer’s attention.
