Jordy Kerwick is a self-taught artist who began his painting career in 2016. Kerwick has quickly acquired global recognition for his bold, raw and unapologetic approach to palette and pattern, executing vivid, expressionistic and highly-stylised compositions. 

Known for his colourful, eclectic still-life paintings, Kerwick's latest body of work explores the fantastical elements and storied visions of the artist's interior imagination where new and unknown terrains collide. Using a variety of materials, from oil, acrylic and spray paint on canvas, to oil stick and collage on paper, the artist's "the more mistakes, the merrier" approach rejoices in the fortuitous relationships that arise between unexpected combinations of colour, texture, and form. 

Koike spent his childhood in Buenos Aires, Argentina, attended a high school in Barcelona, Spain, and graduated from the Department of Sculpture, College of Art at Nihon University. He has produced ceramic sculptures, drawings, and paintings with motifs of ancient gods, pots, big cats, plants and pineapples.
