Jordan Wolfson - Profile

By using diptychs and triptychs Wolfson reveals his thought process of deconstructing interior spaces to uncover the difference between an object's mass and its presence. Wolfson states that he is "in a three-way dialogue, between the piece of the world that he is observing, his inner subjective response, and the accretion of marks." His Interior with Figure in Three States is reminiscent of Giacometti's skeletal drawings. The linear qualities and swift hatching strokes of paint of this piece create a charged atmosphere. In Still Life with Flowers II, Wolfson focuses on the figure/ground relationship of a single flower arrangement placed against a minimal background. Wolfson's deft touch and love of paint is revealed in this deceptively simple composition. Lusciously applied wet into wet paint creates luminosity throughout his deconstructed subject and setting. Wolfson is a native of Southern California. After graduating from the University of California at Santa Cruz with a BA in Fine Art, he received his MFA from Yale University in 1991. After moving to Israel for ten years, where he had several one-person exhibitions, Wolfson returned to the United States in 2002. (DFN Gallery, New York)
