Jordy Hewitt paints large-scale abstract forms with sweeping gestures and expressive color fields. Her work emphasizes mood, movement, and emotion over precision, engaging the body as much as the eye. Hewitt is an Australian painter whose work navigates contending life and bodily forces, identity, and the subtle intersections of interior and exterior emotional realms. She grew up near the ocean in Boorloo/Perth, Western Australia, and now works in Walyalup/Fremantle. Since completing a Bachelor of Fine Art and Design at Curtin University in 2014, Hewitt has exhibited continuously both locally and nationally in solo and group exhibitions and prizes.
Moving between varying degrees of abstraction, Hewitt’s paintings are marked by her development of expressive colour fields through blending and layering—manifestations of introspective and often cathartic processes of mixing, adding and scraping away matter. Produced in intensive bursts, her work is intensely personal but intuitively engages with collective experience, often poking holes in the social facades and constructed realities that obscure meaning and betray connection. She finds solace in the vastness of the Western Australian landscape, and her paintings reflect the nuanced and inextricable relationship between her outside and inside worlds as well as ongoing existential, mythological and astrological inquiry.
In ‘A Gentle Unfolding’, four distinct artistic voices come together to explore the delicate balance between precision and expression, intricacy and openness. The exhibition invites viewers into a gradual and contemplative experience: a slow reveal, or unfolding, of complexity, emotion, and connection across differing artistic approaches and colour fields.
Together, Sarah Darling, Clare Dubina, Jordy Hewitt and Christopher Jewitt demonstrate that this unfolding, whether of perception, form, or meaning, is not always immediate. The colour-filled, jewel-esque works within the exhibition move through a spectrum of visual languages — from the intimate to the expansive — where detail and abstraction do not oppose, but rather inform and elevate each other.
