Mott Jordan Mott Jordon's paintings contain both representative imagery and colorful abstraction.  Mott works in oils, acrylics, watercolor and montage. He combines a strong graphic style with a painterly quality that adds a pleasing depth to the work.  His palette is both rich and mysterious.  Vibrant tones are juxtaposed beside smoky greys, atmospheric blues, and sunset oranges that give his paintings the impression of twilight or fire in the distance.   His images deal with modern themes that are sometimes playful, sometimes angst ridden, and are charged with suggestions of the chaotic nature of humanity.  Mott's work seems to fall into two catagories, large scale paintings portaying surreal landscapes inhabited by exaggerated human figures in awkward and uncomfortable poses, and smaller mixed media works that have a strong graphic quality, and combine bold designs, anthropomorphic elements, and references to pop culture. His works include playful subjects like the "Flying Saucer Pilots" and dreamlike scenes that seem to elude to the state of mankind.  Emotional conflict,  war, technology, and other subjects that influence modern culture are portrayed in his work.   Saucer Pilots This flying saucer is the model for the painting above.
