Artist BIO

Dallas-based artist Jordan Black (they/them) uses their practice to pursue The Ubiquitous, a hive-minded entity that roams The Underbelly. As the sole observer of these creatures, Black’s drawings and prose about this breathing architecture become a map of the misguided violence among a clan whose conscience is synchronized. It often parallels Black’s desire for a more electric reality that is less antagonistic toward queer existence. As a result, their work is as homage to pulp fantasy, nature, coping, and on a good day, celebrating being alive in a human body.

Jordan Black received their Masters of Fine Arts from the University of North Texas in May 2020, alongside their certification in Museum Education. They have instructed courses in foundations, figure drawing, drawing fundamentals, and - most recently - Sequential Art.
