Ben Jordan is a Seattle-based painter and graphic designer whose work sits at the intersection of design and fine art. Contemporary realism, as he defines it, combines the physicality of fine art with the illustration like style of graphic design. Drawing from the things he loves most: architecture, photography, sports, fashion, and the lived experienced of life. Trained in both fine art and design, Ben renders these subjects with the precision of someone who has spent years thinking about how images communicate. The result is work that feels tangible yet carries an illustrative undertone. Visual narratives that speak without ever saying a word.
