Six months ago, 23 year old Jordan Barnes made a strategic career move from his hometown of New Plymouth to Auckland City. He made this move, determined to gain success & recognition through his art, music and modeling. This transition period has been a somewhat erratic ride, adjusting to, and finding his own path in the Auckland scene. Jordan's new paintings are an expression of the experiences he has had in this short period; from a life size self portrait set in a shitty public bathroom to "a drunken sketch of an Australian model that I was fortunate enough to spend a night with". Jordan's new work captures and portrays blatantly honest moments, which each have an interesting story behind them.
