Jordan Sokol

Bio

Jordan Sokol’s intimate and psychologically-charged portraits conjure the depths and complexities of the human experience. His meticulously layered oil paintings use flesh and the human form as a narrative vehicle, exploring themes of life, death, memory, and time.

Born in Queens, New York, Sokol studied and taught painting in Italy and Spain for eleven years before returning to the United States in 2014. In 2015, he participated in establishing the U.S. branch of The Florence Academy of Art in Jersey City, New Jersey, serving as its Academic Director for five years before joining the staff of the New York Academy of Art as an adjunct professor. Sokol is currently the Co-Artistic Director of the Lyme Academy of Fine Arts in Old Lyme, Connecticut.
