Coastalvision: heavily-saturated Tropicália

COASTALVISION: Heavily-saturated Tropicália is Jordan, jordan Édition’s first attempt to publish a pure artist’s monograph, featuring the artistic journey of the outsider artist, Kendra Ahimsa aka Ardneks from as far back as 2011 to today. The more-than-a-decade-long journey is presented through a series of interviews between Ardneks and radio announcers from around the globe, blending reality, fantasy, and candid nostalgia; just like Ardneks’ works of art.

Ardneks’ body of work is known for its importance in arousing enthusiasm for local concert poster artworks in 2008 – which has attracted the attention of internationally acclaimed bands. Recently, Ardneks has worked with Lollapalooza, Toro y Moi, Japanese Breakfast, Khruang Bin, New York Times, LA Times, Desert Daze, NANG Magazine, and more.
