Jordan Wolfson: Interiors

Interiors investigates the depths of human perception and the infinite possibilities of presence through a selection of oil paintings, graphite drawings, and charcoal works completed over the span of two decades. In recurring iterations of one simple studio scene—a director’s chair, two armchairs, and a stool—we journey through an exploration of consciousness.
At times realistic, abstract, or even ghostly, Wolfson’s work alters perceptual acuity and spatial awareness through changes in tone, color temperature, and brushwork.
While the visual essay begins with the director’s chair turned away from the observer, over time, it subtly rotates outward—inviting us in. Interiors creates an exercise in embodied attention for both artist and viewer. As Wolfson describes, it solicits “a happening inside as we are looking outside, an experiment of space occurring within us, within our body.”

Jordan Wolfson (b. 1960) is a nationally recognized painter. Based in Longmont, Colorado, he was trained at the Yale School of Art (M.F.A., 1991). Wolfson has presented solo and group exhibitions across the United States and internationally.
Wolfson has received numerous awards, including grants from the Pollock-Krasner Foundation and the Ingram Merrill Foundation, as well as a Purchase Award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters. His artistic process is grounded in the belief that art is not merely a form of expression but a practice of attention—a way of being present with the world and with others.
