Laura Jordan
Scandal in the Background, London Landscape, Illustrative Contemporary Cityscape

2018

About the Item

Inspiration and process: Laura takes her inspiration from visiting cities and captures her ideas initially through photography. As well as photographing for research Laura will spend a large amount of time people watching and trying to understand how the people of the city function and move about their daily lives. She divides her attention between the physical spaces colour and shape of a city and the cultural economical and social behaviour of a city, eventually being able to combine the different elements and making visual connections. Once back in the studio she will then create lots of small illustrations usually drawn up from scenes and ideas she's captured whilst visiting the city and this creates the starting point for the cityscape. Scenes are then overlapped and merged to layer on top of one another creating a shared scenario this creates the feel of city life with individual moments making up the bigger picture of a metropolis existence. Laura Jordan has works available with Wychwood Art online and in our gallery. Often compared to some of the world's greatest draughtmans, Laura Jordan's ability to put pen to paper and map out complex, yet aesthetically pleasing and stimulating cityscapes, is pure creative genius. Her fascination with society, in particular the issue of class in poorer urban living environments is the stimulus of her creativity that subsequently has led to the depiction of the world's major cities. Nestled into the narrative of each piece Laura's work features thought provoking social commentary in the stories; usually of events and policies within the city she is depicting. Laura studied graphic design and editorial illustration at the London collage of Communication.
