J. Gordon to display paintings in the Mezzanine Gallery in April

Delaware Division of the Arts | News | Date Posted: Tuesday, April 1, 2014



The Delaware Division of the Arts Mezzanine Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition titled Known Unknowns from April 4-25, 2014. The Gallery, open weekdays from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., is located in the Carvel State Office Building, 820 N. French Street, Wilmington. A closing reception will be held for the exhibition where the public can meet the artist on Friday, April 25, 2014 from 5:00-8:00 p.m. Untitled (Ghost Dog)

This solo exhibition of Gordon’s work will showcase a selection of seven original works. J. Gordon is the recipient of a 2013 Individual Artist Fellowship in Painting from the Delaware Division of the Arts. To read an article about him, visit the Division’s Individual Arts Fellowship web publication.

Gordon’s work offers imagery which explores the inherent mutability the artist finds between the world of matter and the world of imagination and dreams. The imagery he presents develops tension between recognizable objects and ethereal expressions using pared down abstract visual language.

His images provide an exploration of the possibilities between what we see of an object and what we perceive of the object beyond the mere direct visual impact our eyes receive. J. Gordon has had his work exhibited and collected widely throughout the region. Gordon, a Wilmington resident, serves as a curatorial associate at the Delaware Center for the Contemporary Arts.
