Jordan Eagles

Biography

Jordan Eagles’ dynamic style ranges from multi-dimensional organic-abstract creations to playfully potent digital pop collage. In the past five years, Eagles work has been featured in five solo shows, a two-person show and over fifteen group exhibitions in New York, New Jersey, Miami, Chicago, London, Philadelphia and Los Angeles (’06). He was the recipient of the 2003 Promise Award from the NJ Center for Visual Arts, an award that honors artists who push boundaries of artistic expression in technique and subject matter. Eagles uses many natural materials in his work including what might be the most controversial-blood.
