Description :

Double-Sided Outsider Folk Art on Wood – Desert Rabbit Scene by B. Jordan (Signed 1994)

This striking double-sided outsider folk art painting, signed by artist B. Jordan and dated 1994, captures the playful spirit and surreal imagination characteristic of self-taught Americana artists. Painted on a reclaimed wooden panel, each side tells its own story using bold colors, rustic texture, and a touch of humor.

Side A (Primary Display – Signed & Dated 1994):
A dynamic desert night scene featuring a giant jackrabbit leaping across the sky, surrounded by energetic trails of colorful dots and triangles. The whimsical setting includes a crescent moon, stars, a planet, and desert floor scattered with guitars, a cactus, and a glowing radio. Decorative tin corners and zigzag edging frame the piece beautifully.

Side B (Reverse – Artist-Marked):
Depicts a roadside desert scene with a red cow, highway, diner sign, and surrounding landscape. A bold black “X” is painted across this side, likely by the artist, signaling it as a concept or composition that was intentionally marked out—adding a layer of personality and process to the piece.

Details:

  • Artist: B. Jordan

  • Signed and dated: 1994

  • Medium: Acrylic on reclaimed wood

  • Format: Double-sided painting

  • Approximate dimensions: 12" x 8"

  • Condition: Good vintage condition; back features intentional artist mark (“X”)

A rare and compelling piece of original outsider art, full of narrative charm and southwestern symbolism. A wonderful find for collectors of folk art, Americana, or unique hand-painted works with story and soul.
