Modern Forms catches up with Australian artist Jordy Kerwick in advance of his Frieze Week presentation, staged in collaboration with Vigo Gallery, of a new suite of works especially conceived for Modern Forms. Designed to hang in the ornate surroundings of the Ballroom & the Music Room at Floreat House in Mayfair, where highlights of Modern Forms’ collection are on display, the works are portals that draw the viewer into his distinctive, playful and compelling, visual universe, populated by monsters and mythic characters.
Modern Forms’ Director Nick Hackworth visited Kerwick at his studio on the outskirts of Albi, the picturesque, medieval French city where he lives with his family, to talk about his work and the remarkable story of his rise to global recognition within the art world.
