Jordan Dymke

Jordan Dymke (b. 1990, Melbourne) is an emerging multidisciplinary artist. He has a figurative-based practice that focuses on painting and drawing from life, self-portraiture, imagery and photographs he collects from magazines and online as well as the expressionist style of Auguste Rodin. His self-portraiture 2D and sculptural works — especially those featuring his hands — are an evocative and expressive investigations of his body and identity. Recently, he has been experimenting with charcoal, utilising a unique smudging technique that imbues his work with a mysterious ambiguity. Dymke has worked in the Arts Project Australia (APA) studio since 2012. He has been featured in group exhibitions throughout Australia. He made his curatorial debut with his virtual exhibition Sensor in 2020 at APA and undertook a paid traineeship in the APA studio and gallery. His work is held in private collections throughout Australia.
