About: Isaac Jordan is a Manchester based artist working primarily with small scale painting. He works in series and makes the paintings in one sitting. A video of a group of friends dancing or characters from sci-fi films are used as starting points to explore different arrangements and groupings. Recent shows include; Warrington Contemporary Arts Festival Open, Warrington Museum and Art Gallery (2022); Jasper Howard, Isaac Jordan: Paintings, PS Mirabel, Manchester (2022); Pushing Up Daisies, Soft Spot, Manchester (2021) and BEEP Painting Prize, Swansea (2020). He received a Spike Island Graduate Fellowship (2020/21) and was recently awarded a Haworth Trust New Graduate Award (2022) at Paradise Works and the Emerging Artist Prize at the Warrington Contemporary Arts Festival Open (2022).
