JORDAN SCOTT GAUNCE

Jordan Scott Gaunce combines painting and drawing to repeat geometric forms revealing the complexity of seemingly simple materials. Inspired by Southwestern culture and landscape, Gaunce’s sleek graphic forms draw attention to details like the vibration between two colors, the reflection of light on acrylic, or the grain of his wooden base.

 

“My work is inspired by the natural world, my New Mexican roots, and the study of the unified field of consciousness. I explore patterns that shape existence, from microscopic cells and subatomic particles to the vastness of solar systems. Drawing on concepts from quantum physics, neuroscience, and evolutionary biology, I investigate how we, as living beings, process and interpret reality.

 

Through abstract paintings, I use color to evoke emotion, creating gradients and simple geometries—lines, circles, and forms—that serve as metaphors for both scientific and spiritual systems. These elements reflect the processes within our bodies that enable us to perceive and connect with the world.

 

I work on raw wood, where the grain emerges as I apply color, revealing the history of what was once a living tree. I engage themes of regeneration and the enduring presence of the natural world.

 

The vibrant landscapes of the Southwest, rich in cultural and spiritual significance, ground my exploration of universal systems. Portals in my work symbolize voids that invite contemplation and meditation, representing the unknown and the connections between life and consciousness.

 

At its core, my work asks: What does it feel like to be human in an interconnected universe?” -Artist Statement
