Jennifer Gordons paintings create fields that echo geological/organic cross-sections and high-rise architecture. Referencing abstract expressionism, colour field, and Group of Seven landscape painting, her work shifts from order to chaos, surface to field, reorganization to collapse as she seeks to represent the outside-of-time moments experienced in the Canadian wilderness and the urban sublime.
Her sculpture and installation work play with questions of identity, particularly in how it relates to large-scale, more universal issues surrounding gender and Canadiana.
Taught by five Governor General Award winning artist/professors, she received her BFA and BEd from the University of Ottawa. She has shown in Ottawa and Toronto, where she currently lives and works. Her work is held in both corporate and private collections.
