"The meaning of the double headed cobra has really evolved over time for me. Initially it started as an exercise of expedience in making a cobra with two heads to appease both of my sons, Milo and Sonny. But as time has gone by and I get older, they have become, to me, more of a symbol of youth and fight. Making things that are kinda “rock n roll” helps me to stay young at heart and head, but I also see resilience and determination in the Hydra. I’m a bizarre way, it’s a hopeful symbol to me." - Jordy Kerwick

Jordy Kerwick
Jordy Kerwick is a contemporary Australian painter known for his vibrant and expressive artworks characterised by his exploration of still life subjects, often depicting flowers, plants, and everyday objects in his distinctive style. He combines various painting techniques, including layering, scraping, and gestural brushwork, to create textured surfaces that add depth and dynamism to his compositions. Symbols from Egyptian art combine with tropes from popular culture, such as the bold and electrifying colour schemes of comic book series’ heroes and villains.
