ABOUT THE ARTWORK
This year marks the fiftieth year anniversary since the Apollo mission saw humans take their first steps on the moon. Now, as a species, we launch over a dozen spacecraft every single month. Humans are even projected to land on Mars within a decade! How is it that we can put humans on other planets but haven't even figured out how to live with each other in peace yet? The sun is dying — a process in which its surface expands to the point that it will eventually engulf the earth and all life along with it. Even if we survive climate change and successfully avoid nuclear fallout, we still have an end point. Let's spend our limited time on earth affirming it and enjoying it, not taking it away. This piece was painted on the floor using using acrylics and a palette knife to produce streaks from unrestricted human movement. These streaks were layered to build an intricate scar-like texture, resembling human fragility. Metallic bronze highlights finish the piece off, adding an extra dimension that shimmers in the light and changes the mood of the piece depending on the viewing angle.

Jordan Plotnek was born in Sydney in 1992, but spent their formative years in Porto Alegre and childhood in Melbourne. Seeking an escape from their highly religious upbringing, Jordan commissioned into the Australian Defence Force as an electronics engineer at age 19. They were subsequently deployed on several military operations, including leading a Middle East tour in 2016-17. Jordan learned to use art as a coping mechanism from a young age, but by 2019 a hyper-awareness of the human capacity for destruction cemented their art practice as a core part of their life and identity. Their artwork quickly proved to resonate with a wide audience; being internationally collected, commissioned, and gallery represented within the first month of going public. Today, Plotnek originals can be found in over a dozen countries as part of private and corporate collections across five continents. Plotnek's work seeks to reconcile the inescapable darkness in humanity with its own transient impermanence through the creation of a visual language they term "abstract existentialism". Their artwork consists of distinctively nihilistic marks and abstracted symbols, painted in ominously calming iridescent earth tones and heavily shadowed textures that shift with ambient light.
