OH WORD?

I am very excited to welcome Jordan Sullivan and these wonderful drawings on found paper to the FolkArtwork Collective! I have known Jordan and his large paintings for a few years and was lucky enough to bump into him and his lovely wife at the Outsider Art Fair and had a fantastic conversation.

Continuing to add more works and artists in the coming months… stay
tuned!

JORDAN SULLIVAN

JORDAN SULLIVAN is a self-taught painter born in Houston, Texas but raised in rural Ohio and Detroit. Sullivan’s art depicts a grim world that is broken but salvageable. His characters, whether lost in grief, lost in alcohol, alone in a new country, or at a crossroads, become testaments to a kind of resilience that has always marked our shared humanity. Before becoming a full-time artist, he worked a number of odd jobs, including dishwasher, housekeeper, graphic designer, and on construction crews in Texas, New York City, and Los Angeles. He lives in Brooklyn, New York.
