Jordan Shapot

Jordan Shapot, 33, is a local fine artist/painter from Crystal River, Florida. He earned his BFA in Illustration in 2009 at Savannah College of Art and Design, but has since pivoted to a successful career in painting. He focuses on making colorfully-exciting, and emotion-evoking art. His work is created from a nurtured mindset of natural wonder and unbridled curiosity while mixing undertones of many traditional masters. Stemmed from this "unbridled curiosity", Shapot has developed multiple unique painting styles. Although they're often related by color and mark-making, these complex styles are also the separate limbs of his creative personality. Having a career composed of these "limbs" makes Shapot feel oddly whole like Frankenstein's monster.
