Meet Jordan Caldwell!
He creates art to introduce people to his view of the world and how he feels. His ambition is to depict the cold beautiful isolated world he lives in, but to also acknowledge that others live in the same world. What sets his style apart from others is his balance between realism and details with emphasis on color and texture. Jordan aims to romanticize the mundane world around him through the glorification of saturated colors, contrast, and liquid-like textures. He is one of the youngest artist to have work acquired by the City of Albuquerque. He is being recognized as an Emerging Creative. Tonight you can watch as he receives his Creative Bravos Award via Facebook and YouTube at 7 p.m. Watch with us!
