Jordan Sears is an oil-painter whose works explore the tension between image, memory, and materiality. Drawing from a personal and cultural archive, she manipulates color, texture, and atmosphere to fragment and disrupt perception. Through this manipulation, she exposes the instability of images, revealing their fragility and impermanence.

Cropped and obscured, the works resist full clarity, involving the viewer into a process of searching, misrecognition, and reinterpretation. With thin layers of paint and softened edges, her surfaces create a sense of distance - images that hover between presence and disappearance.

Rooted in self-consciousness, these paintings reflect the space between being seen and being obscured, between recognition and uncertainty. By blurring the boundaries between surface, illusion, and material presence, she invites the viewer to reconsider what they see, what they remember, and what remains just beyond reach.
