About this artwork
I painted this to recreate the deep stirring feeling I used to get watching the sun rise over the sandy horizon while I was deployed on operations in the Middle East. The unsettled dust in the air would refract the rays from the rising sun in such a way that everything became a deep golden sepia tone.
Acrylics were blended from black at the bottom, through brown, to eventually reach a bold yellow ochre at the top. Layered over this are hundreds… of detailed streaks of monochromatic colours, which are then finished off with subtle flecks of metallic bronze, adding a final touch of glimmering contrast.
Altogether the painting appears deceptively simple and minimalist but on further inspection becomes intricate with shifting contrasts and horizontal movement.

« My artwork was born from my experiences as a security scientist and is a reflection of my ongoing struggle with the nature of humankind and what it means to be human. »
Jordan J. Plotnek is an experienced Australian-Brazilian painter with international exposure. Working within abstract expressionism he gains inspiration from his scientific research and nomadic travels to investigate the nature of humanity; particularly in response to pressing contemporary issues such as international security, climate change, and globalisation. Plotnek's work treads the line between captivating and uncomfortable, luring the viewer in and provoking them to engage with their own psyche and question the world around them.
