Clarity of the Stars: A Retrospective on the work of Jordan Howe is an expansive retrospective on the work of Northern Irish artist Jordan Howe. Howe’s work encompassed themes of identity, femininity and surrealism, often presented within pop cultural references and visual culture.
Working in mixed media, primarily painting as a visual artist, Howe was also heavily involved in music production and composed many original pieces. Her work was widely recognised and respected amongst her peers and she was both technically ambitious and unguarded in her evocation of emotion within her theatrical and decisive body of work. This retrospective is a celebration of the life’s work of Jordan Howe at the Millennium Court Arts Centre in Portadown.
